[Verse 1] On the hill of stone and prayer You kept the well of mercy there Not by blood, but by the call To love the stranger over all [Verse 2] In the dust, in the shade You kept faith in the old ways Brother, sister, hand in hand Guarding peace in sacred land [Pre-Chorus] When the heart is torn apart You still taught us where to start Not in pride, not in blame But in mercy by Your name [Chorus] Sons of Samaria, stand Keep the water in your hand Sons of Samaria, sing Bring the broken to the King Sons of Samaria, light Carry mercy through the night [Verse 3] At the well, the noon-day heat Truth and mercy came to meet From the road, the wounded fell And you knew him well, so well [Pre-Chorus] When the heart is torn apart You still taught us where to start Not in pride, not in blame But in mercy by Your name [Chorus] Sons of Samaria, stand Keep the water in your hand Sons of Samaria, sing Bring the broken to the King Sons of Samaria, light Carry mercy through the night [Bridge] O ancient path, O living flame Teach our feet to do the same Let no wall outlast the love Given down from heaven above [Final Chorus] Sons of Samaria, stand Keep the water in your hand Sons of Samaria, sing Bring the broken to the King Sons of Samaria, light Carry mercy through the night
