Jn 4.1-26
Spanish Harlem - Public Fountain
How did he know all that?
Maggie:
Pardon me, mister, I don't think I know you
I've never seen you around
Can I give you comfort - I'll tell of your future
they say I'm the best deal in town
Hero:
Oh, no thank you, Maggie - Yeah I know your name
And I also know your comfort never lasts
You drink from a well of a lost lover's passion
But then you're just thirsty again
Come take a taste now of God's lasting water
That comforts your thirst within
Maggie:
Hey, how do you know that I'm thirsty at all
I've never been with you but you know my name
I almost feel like you know me too well
Somehow that makes me afraid
(Chorus)
So I ask, how do you know secrets of my heart?
Has my life been written in the stars?
And can you tell me all I've ever done - all I've ever done?
Secrets of the heart?
Hero:
Oh, girl you've runaway to this dark city?
To leave your ugly past behind
A father that used you and a mother refused you
Don't think that no one saw you cry
Maggie:
Oh, stranger who are you to know all my pain
I've only cried alone in the torture of the night
Are you a player? Just tell me the truth
Did you come to help me?
Can I trust you?
(Repeat chorus)
So I ask, how do you know secrets of my heart?
Has my life been written in the stars?
And can you tell me all I've ever done - all I've ever done?
(Repeat chorus)
(spoken)
Hey, sir... Can you help me?
Secrets of my heart
Can I believe in you?
Hero:
Yeah, I can help you. That's why I'm here.
