Was full of pleasure till the wine ran dry.
The human life, like wine, is soon exhausted,
Till Jesus comes, divine life to supply.
When Jesus comes, the darkness turns to light.
He touches death—it’s turned to life eternal,
Weakness to strength and blindness into sight.
To Jesus came, more teaching to pursue;
But teachings ne’er could change the fallen nature,
So Jesus said, “You must be born anew.”
Indeed her many husbands left her dry.
Daily she came to draw the failing water
Till Jesus came, her thirst to satisfy.
So weak while waiting till the water stirred.
Religion of the law could never heal him;
Then Jesus came and spoke the living word.
Death’s grip had come; they ’round the grave did weep.
Silent he lay, all bound and wrapped in grave clothes;
Then Jesus came, and woke him from his sleep.
Able to save from death in any form.
Now open up your heart and call upon Him;
To you He’ll come, in spirit you’ll be born.
