When the wine runs out

Royston 1946 (Reading)



When the wine runs out and all seems so bleak.
To whom shall we go and who shall we seek?
When all the options fail and all seems lost,
how shall we get more and who'll pay the cost?

When life runs short and our days are numbered.
When times are difficult and we feel encumbered.
Let's go to Jesus and all our burdens share.
Tell Him all our problems and leave them there.

When hope seemed so hopeless, and all seems lost
nothing seems possible and too great the cost.
God's wonderful promise we can believe.
Let's reach out to Jesus and His love receive.
