Jesus Gave Me Water

Sam Cooke

Oh, Jesus gave me water,
 Jesus gave me water,
 Jesus gave me water,
 Jesus gave me water,
 Oh, let His praises swell.
 Jesus gave me water,
 Jesus gave me water,
 Jesus gave me water,
 and it was not in the well.
 There was a woman from Samaria
 came to the well to get some water.
 There she met a stranger who did a story tell.
 That woman dropped her pitcher,
 her drinking was made richer
 from the water He gave her
 and it was not in the well.
 Oh, He gave her water,
 Jesus gave her water,
 Jesus gave her water,
 Oh, let His praises swell!
 Jesus gave her water,
 He gave that woman water.
 Livin, lovin, lastin water
 and it was not in the well.
 On that woman He took pity,
 she ran back to the city
 crying, "Glory, Hallelujah!"
 and did His wonders tell.
 She left my Savior singing,
 she came back to Him bringing
 the time she had her water, Lord,
 and it was not in the well.
 Yes, He gave her water,
 Jesus gave her water,
 Yes, Jesus gave her water,
 Oh, let His praises swell!
 Jesus gave that woman water,
 He gave her that livin, lovin, lastin water
 wa-a-a-ter
 and it was not in the well.
 Lord, that woman left Him shoutin,
 there was no room for doubtin
 that she had made her Savior
 who did His wonders tell.
 Every time shed doubt Him,
 shed start to think about Him -
 the man who gave her water, Lord,
 and it was not in the well.
 Yes, Jesus gave her water,
 Jesus gave her water,
 Jesus gave her water,
 Oh, let His praises swell.
 I tell you He gave that woman water,
 He gave her that lovin, lastin water
 water, water, water, water, water,
 and it was not in the well.
