You know what he said when he was here on earth, And let him that is athirst come. John 7.37. In the last day, the great day of the Feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying; If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. —Now he is in heaven, look into the Book of the Revelation, which he speaks from heaven, he speaks more than that, And let him that is athirst come, there's that, And whosoever will, let him take of the water of life freely, here's more now he is in heaven.
