Passage:
On the third day a wedding took place in Cana of Galilee. Jesus’s mother was there,
2 and Jesus and his disciples were invited to the wedding as well. 3 When the wine ran out, Jesus’s mother told him, “They don’t have any wine.”

4 “What has this concern of yours to do with me, woman? ” Jesus asked.“My hour has not yet come.”

5 “Do whatever he tells you,” his mother told the servants.

6 Now six stone water jars had been set there for Jewish purification. Each contained twenty or thirty gallons.

7 “Fill the jars with water,” Jesus told them. So they filled them to the brim. 8 Then he said to them, “Now draw some out and take it to the headwaiter.” And they did.

9 When the headwaiter tasted the water (after it had become wine), he did not know where it came from ​— ​though the servants who had drawn the water knew. He called the groom 10 and told him, “Everyone sets out the fine wine first, then, after people are drunk, the inferior. But you have kept the fine wine until now.”

11 Jesus did this, the first of his signs, in Cana of Galilee. He revealed his glory, and his disciples believed in him.

12 After this, he went down to Capernaum, together with his mother, his brothers, and his disciples, and they stayed there only a few days. -- John 2:1-12 (CSB)

Song:
Water to Wine by Andy Squyres, Kate Bluett, Latifah Alattas, Nicholas Chambers, and Paul Zach

Lyrics:
Consider now the hawks that fly
Above the hills, beneath the sky
Whose wisdom rings from overhead
The earth below is daily bread

Consider now the miracle
Of rain that falls into the soil
And swells the grape upon the vine
It's always been water to wine

Imagine every buried seed
Enshrouded in the furrows deep
That breaks itself apart to rise
And lift the ground up to the skies

Imagine heaven reaching down
A gift poured out from heavy clouds
Restoring all our withered vines
It's always been water to wine

Water to wine
Water to wine
Water to wine

Remember Christ the living bread
The seed grown high and harvested
Who gathers us into the feast
Gleaning every fallen seed

Remember earth will bloom again
And Christ will be our living spring
The fountain welling up inside
It's always been water to wine

Water to wine
Water to wine
Water to wine
Water to wine
Water to wine
Water to wine

Prayer:
This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.
