Give Me Water

Learning to Live Inside Out

Third Sunday in Lent, Year A

We’re thirsty this week. That’s the point. Thirsting for the living waters that Jesus spoke about to the woman at the well. And not simply a one time or easy but unsatisfying spiritual refreshment, but a recognition of the deepest thirsts that we have and how we seem to always be thirsty, no matter how often we drink.

The season of Lent is a time to journey inward and to focus on self-examination. Often, this is done through the practice of the disciplines of Lent – prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. However, this series helps us move in two directions – looking inward and moving outward. We are learning to live inside out.

Following are some hymns, songs, and anthems suited for this series and the biblical texts selected.
