After 10 long years of instruction we had our first wine in communion this morning at Providence. Yes, there were more than a few coughs and hacks from the kids, but they'll get used to it.
Two of the men in the congregation wrote a hilarious song for our Providence Barbershop Quartet. They sang it at our annual Spring banquet a few weeks ago. You've gotta hear it. You can listen to the mp3 file here: Just A Little Wine
These guys are talented! The words are below.
Just A Little Wine
Words by Tim Werkema. Edited by Bill Hoover.
Music by Cleavant Derricks
I once was lost in sin but Jesus took me in.
And then a little light from heaven Jesus sends.
I then joined Providence and I've been happy since
'cause I can take communion here with all my friends.
Now let us have a little wine, don't say no
'Cause we'll have a Cabernet or Merlot
We would have a Chardonnay but then that color, nope, no way.
So let us have a little fermentation with our Eucharistic celebration
You will find a little red wine really makes it right, makes it right.
We learned in Sunday school that bear is not for fools,
And just a little scotch can make you feel okay.
But if you want a drink that really makes you think
Have a little wine with dinner I would say.
[Chorus]
Our pastor says that wine is better you will find
Than grape juice in communion e'er could be.
We take part in a feast with Jesus our High Priest
And just a little wine is proper biblically.
[Chorus] |
