Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Oh, Jesus gave me water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave me water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave me water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
I wanna let his praises swell
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave me water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave me water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave me water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
And it was not (In the well)
[Verse 2]
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
She drinkin' was made richer
From the water He gave her and it was not in the well
[Verse 3]
Yes, gave her water
(Oh, He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave her water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave her water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
I wanna let His praises swell
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave her water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
He gave that woman water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Gave livin', lovin', lastin' water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
And it was not (In the well)
[Verse 4]
Well, on that woman He had pity
She ran back to the city
Cryin', glory, hallelujah
And did his wonders tell
She left my Savior singin'
She came back to him bringin'
The time she had water, Lord
And it was not in the well
[Verse 5]
Yes, He gave her water
(Oh, He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave her water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave her water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
I wanna let His praises swell
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave that woman water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Gave her that lovin', lastin' water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Water and it was not in (The well)
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
[Verse 6]
Well, oh, that woman left for shoutin'
There was no room for doubtin'
That she had met a Savior
Who did her wonders tell
Every time she'd doubt Him
She start to think about Him
The man that gave that water, Lord
And it was not in the well
[Verse 7]
Yes, He gave her water
(Oh, He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave her water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Jesus gave her water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
I wanna let his praises swell
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Say, He gave that woman water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Gave her that lovin', lastin' water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
Water, water, water, water lovin' water
(He gave me water, He gave me water)
And It was not in the well
