Water Into Wine

Inspired by Genesis 1:1, 24-27; Exodus 7:20; John 2:1-12

Water existed before light was created

Then creatures with blood came into being

But their blood was soon desecrated

Something had to be done to stop the bleeding

Water gives life and it also cleanses

Blood is life but doesn't come cheap

Too much of either can be destructive 

Too much of both is a price that is steep

Moses first demonstration of his anointing

Was turn the Nile into blood as God directed

Jesus first demonstration of his appointing

Was turn water into wine as Mary requested 

Water is important to the history of earth

Blood is important to all of humanity

Jesus was baptized to signify his worth

Wine represents his blood and affinity 

Just as blood sanctifies the altar

Jesus shedding his consecrated the cross 

Lets purify ourselves in holy water 

And drink the wine to remember the cost
