The Miracle and the Cross

When Jesus turned the water into wine
Water placed in purification pots fine
The servants drew wine no ordinary taste
Best wine was saved for last, showed his fate

Water placed in purification pots fine
Water pots for ceremonial wash time
Best wine saved for last showed his fate
Then he hung on the cross outside the gate

Water pots for ceremonial wash time
The servants drew wine no ordinary taste
Then he hung on the cross outside the gate
When Jesus turned the water into wine

(From the "Bible" John chapter 2. This is an attempt at a Rondel. Thanks for the challenge.)
