Now the first miracle wasn't incense or oil
It was wine for a party in town
Like Calvin & Luther, I imagine this brew's for
Everyone, no matter who is around
So we'll raise a toast to the Holy Ghost
We'll chant & sing to the King of Kings
Say our prayers with nary a nod or a wink
I love Jesus, but I'm havin' a drink
I love Jesus, but I'm havin' a drink
So don't hide your beer when the pastor appears
Quote from John, Joel & Deuteronomy
Not the blood of our Lord, but when it is poured
You can drink it on bended knee
So we'll raise a toast to the Holy Ghost
We'll chant & sing to the King of Kings
Say our prayers with nary a nod or a wink
I love Jesus, but I'm havin' a drink
I love Jesus, but I'm havin' a drink
Now you may not love Jesus, but He knew it would please us
To change the water to wine
Some say just strong grape juice, but Cana had on their dance shoes
They expected to have a good time
So we'll raise a toast to the Holy Ghost
We'll chant & sing to the King of Kings
Say our prayers with nary a nod or a wink
I love Jesus, but I'm havin' a drink
I love Jesus, but I'm havin' a drink
I love Jesus, but I'm havin' a drink
