Always Thirsty
Jesus was always thirsty
to ladle up another cup
filled with living water
for yet another parched tongue.

Why am i
so less inclined,
seeking most to wet
my own drying mouth?

Jesus had to go to meet
the woman at the well,
had to serve up another cup
as a dry, dry land awaited.

Why am i
no less driven, 
steering clear of pouring
myself into deep, dry wells?

Our own Samaria's sizzle on down the road
and we do have to go my friends;
Dear Lord Jesus, hear our prayer:
Make us thirsty just like You.

John 4
