Down by the Well Poem
This is a poem version of one of my favorite Bible stories:
Down by the Well
By Gloriana Stolle
Down by the well,
One fine day.
Jesus was walking,
Going to pray.
He was getting thirsty,
But He had no pot to draw with.
There was a woman there
who was a Samaritan.
Now her people,
And His people,
Never socialized.
So when He asked her for a drink,
She couldn’t believe her eyes!
She said, “Why do you ask me for a drink?”
To which Jesus replied,
“If you drink this water,
you will soon thirst again.
But if you drink the water I give,
You’d never need again!”
Astonished, she inquired,
“Where can I get this water,
That will keep me from going dry?”
So then He told her all about
His saving grace and love.
Hearing this, she cried,
“I believe!”
So she went and told her friends.
They were surprised to learn that she
Had talked to Him that day.
They all came down to meet Him,
And many more believed
All because that Samaritan woman
Listened to what He said.
