Cover art for One Drop lyrics by Bob Marley and the Wailers

One drop takes me to the parable of Lazarus and the rich man. He pleaded for just one drop of the living water so that he may be quenched and his spirit have life again. The gap between lazarus (Gentile who had faitj in Christ) and the rich man(old testament israel) is time here on earth. The gap is almost filled and all of Abraham's descendants will be blessed through faith in Christ. One drop. We all have at least one drop of Abraham's blood. We will recieve life through walking with Christ here on earth. The lost tribes are remembering and feeling it in the one drop
