A wedding in Cana and Jesus was there.
A miscalculation, a bit of a scare.
They ran out of wine before it was through.
What were they to do? What were they to do?
“Do whatever He tells you.”
The mother of Jesus said, “They have no wine.”
It didn’t concern Him. It wasn’t His time.
But she didn’t argue. She already knew
What He was to do… What He was to do…
“Do whatever He tells you.”
At Jesus’ direction they filled every jar
With nothing but water. It seemed quite bizarre.
Then to the headwaiter they took some to review.
What was he to do? What was he to do?
“Do whatever He tells you.”
The headwaiter tasted, they heard him avow,
“It seems that the best wine was saved until now.”
In all the disciples the faith had just begun
By what the Lord had done. By what the Lord had done.
“Do whatever He tells you.”

There was a Wedding in Cana Galilee
Jesus was there
The Mother of Jesus was there
The Disciples were also invited
The wine ran short
His mother said “They ran out of wine”
Jesus said to her
“Woman, how does your concern affect me?”
My hour has not come
His mother said to the waiters “Do whatever He tells you”
There were six stone water jars there
Fill the jars with water
Draw some and take it to the headwaiter
The water became wine and they were happy

A portent of events that had yet to unfold
All followers invited is what we are told
His mother's request He puts not on hold
The ceremonial water its change we behold
Filled to the brim with nothing held back
Sweetened with goodness, nothing to lack
The best for the last to consummate a pact
His hour not here, there is no turning back
Bridegroom, headwaiter and servers are there
But of the bride, there is mention nowhere
Or could that omission be to make us aware
That the bride of Christ will soon be in our care
