"I must go by Samaria, I have something on my mind."
So they leave the crowd that day to see what He would find.
Weary from the walking He sits upon the well,
Yet as His disciples go for food, His purpose He wont tell.
It's a woman that He wants, not her body but her soul,
And the Water that He has to give will make this woman whole.
He knows regardless of her state, she's a part of Him,
Though she's callous, crusted up and lives a life of sin.
Despising of His type, she brushes Him aside,
But as He makes a contact, there's no where for her to hide.
As Light comes flooding in her soul, the darkness must depart,
And we see the Seed respond, that was hidden in her heart.
She knew Messiahs character, that only He could tell,
The things that she had done and the manner that she fell.
As the deep begins responding, there's now no more rejection,
For their hearts were always one, but now there's Word connection.
Now we see reaction as she runs to spread the news.
"Redemptions at the gate with a Messiah from the Jews!"
No more caution, no more shame, her life's been changed by grace,
As she shouts aloud the gospel, there's no need to hide her face.
Now a hero through the ages, this change is so sublime.
Her perfection and her righteousness would be told on down through time.
It's a victory God can have in a life prepared to die,
As we see the flesh release it's grip and watch the Spirit fly.
The little woman at the well, ill-famed. She'd seen so much bogus amongst the people professing... They went into Sychar to get some food, the disciples, and Jesus left alone. The Father had sent Him up there because He had need go by. He was going to Jericho, but He went up around the mountain 'cause He had need: one soul, and her a prostitute. Oh, amazing grace. One soul out of the whole thing, and her an ill-fame, calling off of His regular journey plumb up here.
... About eleven o'clock she come out to get some water. She might've started to let the bucket down, and her curls dropped down over her face. And she started to let the bucket down. She heard somebody say, "Bring Me a drink." She looked over quickly, and there set a Jew.
She said, "It's not customary for such a thing, a Jew to ask a Samaritan anything."
He said, "But if you knew Who you were talking to, you'd ask Me for a drink." What was He doing? Contacting her spirit. Father had sent him up there. Now, the subject is there. Hallelujah. I saw something then. O God. Father sent Him up there, and now here's the subject before Him. He don't know what to say, but He carries a conversation. He said--talked about worship at Jerusalem, and the Jews and so forth, and the well they talked about. After while He found where her trouble was.
Said, "Go, get your husband and come here."
She said, "I have no husband."
Said, "That's right. You've had five, and the one you've got now is not your husband."
She said, "Sir, I perceive that Thou art a prophet. We know that the Messiah is called the Christ; He's coming, the Anointed One. And when He comes, He will be a prophet. He will tell us those things."
He said, "I'm He that speaks to you." Talk about persistence.
You know, it wasn't actually... If you know the oriental custom, a woman of that type should never approach a man in the market place. That's right. Not till this day in India, and different places. No, sir. The men wouldn't even hear her. Look at her. She's marked a prostitute. They'd turned their back, no matter what she said.
But what? They couldn't ignore her. They couldn't ignore the woman. Why? She had a hold of faith. She had a message. They couldn't stop her. She said, "Come see a Man Who's told me the things that I've done. Isn't this the very Messiah? Isn't this He?" And the Bible said the whole city believed because of the woman's testimony.

Now, then, see that he [Moses]was born with this great gift and quality within him. Then it only taken something to flash across that to bring that thing to Life. See, the seed of God is actually placed in us from the foundation of the world. And when that Light first strikes that seed, it brings it to Life, but the Light first has to come upon the seed.
I've taught many times of the little woman at the well, her in that condition. Though she be an ill-famed person, though her life was degraded, and she was in that condition, because that traditions had never touched her. But though when that Light first struck her, quickly she recognized It, 'cause there was something there to respond to It.
When the deep calls to the deep, there must be a deep somewhere to respond to that call.
