Analysis of He turned water into wine

Royston 1946 (Reading)



All the other wine was surpassed.
and the best was saved 'til the last
For He turned water into wine
and things of earth became divine.

Changed from glory into glory
Common turned extraordinary.
Acts of love from the hands of Christ
Hands that were pierced through sacrifice.

Miracle of all miracles
as upon me His mercy falls.
Lifting me from the miry clay
He set me free to walk His Way
