Lyrics: Wedding In Cana

Wedding At Cana

Wayne A. Hicks, Sr.

(Chorus)
Well, come on, let’s all go to a wedding down in Cana,
There’s gonna be some dancin’, and the food will be free!
They’ll have the finest wine, and we’ll all have a good time,
‘Cause Jesus’ cousin is gettin’ married, down in Galilee!

Well, folks, I gotta tell you, it really was a show
The way the people carried on was almost a disgrace,
The music was the finest and the dancin’ sure was fun,
And the wine was puttin’ silly smiles on everybody’s face!

But then they had a crisis, they’d run plumb outa wine!
A waiter passed the news, and all those smiles turned upside down,
But Mary said, “Don’t worry,” she knew just what to do,
And soon the wine was back again, and washed off every frown!
She took the problem to her son, you know, that preacher lad,
She told him what had happened, he agreed that it was bad
He called the waiters to him, and told them what he’d need
They filled up all the water pots, and set them at his feet
He said a silent prayer, and then he dipped into the first,
Had a waiter take it to his boss to quench that poor man’s thirst!
The fellow took a sip or two, then loudly he declared,
“This second wine is better yet, the first was only fair!”
And I said…

Well, folks, I guess you know now, the story I just told
Is found in St. John chapter two, in verses one through ten!
The first of Jesus’ miracles, so simple but so grand,
It’s a story that I love to tell, let’s hear it once again,
