The Woman at the Well — is SHE

Living water fountain of life
Drink it and you will never thirst again
Drink it up, drink it up
Drink up
Drink till you satisfied
Drink it and you will never thirst again
Drink it up, drink it up
Drink up
Drink till you satisfied

Yes is ME
Is me Jesus wants you know
The woman who loose five husbands and still don’t have any
Yes is me
The woman with the colorful family history
Yes is me
The sketel at the well
Yes is me Jesus wants you know
Yes is me
You go ahead and judge me
But hope, come see a man who has set me free

Yes is SHE
Miss “prim and proper”, miss “high and mighty”
Is she Jesus wants you know
Yes is she
The one who always down by the bar
Always dressing half naked and under she clothes you could see she panty
Yes is she

Yes is HE
The one who on coke and is dig grave in the cemetery
Yes is he

Yes is he
Who? The one who friending with Harry wife?

Yes is THEM
The school and cyberbullies
The teachers who like to pickup students
Make their life living miseries
Winning souls like theirs
Man, those are victories

Yes is YOU
Always on Facebook, Snapchat, WhatsApp and Twitter
Posting and sharing memes
Causing defamation of my character
Yes Jesus wants you know
The kings and queens of inappropriate use of social media
Yes is you
Ha! You thought was only me?
No! Jesus want everbody
You who too hoon, you who too dirty
He is saying, I want you to believe that worshiping me goes beyond the walls of this church

Yes is EVERYBODY
He want us ALL as true worshipers
Worshiping him in spirit and in truth
So bow down and worship him
Yes bow down and worship him
Worship him, worship him
So bow down and worship him
Yes bow down and worship him
Worship him
