Story behind the song
Jesus will sustain in your daily trials as you journey through life. He expects you to do for others, what He has done for you.
Lyrics
BE A COOL DRINK OF WATER
When you've labored long and hard, and in your way you falter,
Take your burdens to the Lord and lay them at His alter,
Be ready to lend a hand, should your neighbor call,
When you take astand for Jesus, He won't let you fall,
Youve got to love your neighbor,
'Cause Jesus loved you first,
Be a cool drink of water to them that thirst,
If someone should do you wrong,
Give back better for worse,
Be a cool drink of water to them that thirst,
If the road is long and rough, when the pavement turns to gravel,
You can call on Jesus, He will help you as you travel,
As you continue on your way, setting one foot before the other,
Always pay heed to a friend in need, and be sure to help your brother,
When your labor is long and hot, Jesus will see you through,
You've got to do onto others, what He has done for you,
Jesus Christ is bread and wine, for those who hunger,
Let me show you how, to serve Him now, We aren't getting any younger,
(chorus)
You,ve got to love your neighbor,
'Cause Jesus loved you first,
Be a cool drink of water, to them that thirst,
If someone should do you wrong,
Give back better for worse,
Be a cool drink of water to them that thirst,
(repeat chorus)
