From Welch's To Wine
When I moved to Kentucky my apartment building had
A weekly Bible study and I was really glad
It had been a long time since I had the opportunity
To get out and go to church so my faith I could renew
On my first Sunday morning visit the service refreshed my soul
To try and be there every week was my ultimate goal
Then we had communion together we ate the bread
When the preacher said let's drink the cup I took a swig and said
O God this isn't Welch's as it burned going down
And before I knew it the room was spinning around
About five minutes later I began to laugh out loud
I felt like I was floating on a big white fluffy cloud
I got back to my apartment and I still felt a rush
That's when I knew one sip of wine turns me into a lush
The next time we had communion I was glad to see
We had Welch's grape juice and that was fine with me
