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 beer 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]
