If you knew of the Gift of God

Speaking to her plainly
the woman at the well
offering himself to her
that she may be fed
salvation in belief
asking for the water
giving of himself
that we all may be saved
satisfied,
never to thirst again
spiritual, living water
offered by the Christ

to people of all ages, nations, and races?”
