The wedding feast, the peak of man’s enjoyment

The wedding feast

the peak of man’s enjoyment

Was full of pleasure till the wine ran dry.

The human life

like wine

is soon exhausted

Till Jesus comes

divine life to supply.

When Jesus comes

new wine is made from water

When Jesus comes

the darkness turns to light.

He touches death—it’s turned to life eternal

Weakness to strength and blindness into sight.

One night a moral righteous man

a ruler

To Jesus came

more teaching to pursue;

But teachings ne’er could change the fallen nature

So Jesus said

“You must be born anew.”

“I have no husband

” sighed the thirsty sinner.

Indeed her many husbands left her dry.

Daily she came to draw the failing water

Till Jesus came

her thirst to satisfy.

A man among the multitude lay helpless

So weak while waiting till the water stirred.

Religion of the law could never heal him;

Then Jesus came and spoke the living word.

Within the tomb

four days and nights he lay there

Death’s grip had come; they ’round the grave did weep.

Silent he lay

all bound and wrapped in grave clothes;

Then Jesus came

and woke him from his sleep.

And still today

this Jesus is so living

Able to save from death in any form.

Now open up your heart and call upon Him;

To you He’ll come

in spirit you’ll be born.
