with her little bucket

The woman at the well
as she came to Jesus
knowing it was taboo
for her to be there with him
yet God’s plan unfolding
with her little bucket
a story to heal us
to save us from our cares
to lift us in the waters
to drink and never thirst
hunger of our spirit
at the living waters
hearing his message
his message for us
broken and tarnished
with wear and a little rust
he was offering
life, renewal
to the woman with the bucket
and all of us on earth
living downstream
to drink of the living waters
solving all our needs
