The wedding feast, the peak of man's
|
|
| 1. | 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. |
| 2. | 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." |
| 3. | "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. |
| 4. | 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. |
| 5. | 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. |
| 6. | 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 |
