Three days later was this wedding down in Cana; Mother Mary participated
Plus Jesus & the discip's came there
Halfway through the Gala they started to notice'
The wine was getting low so Mary approached Jesus & told it
You know they low on wine
Jesus asked his moms, "Whose concern is that, yours or mine?
Now's just not my time " "Fine "
But Mary went on anyway to the staff & instructed the crew,
Whatever he tells you boo   "I want you to do"
Standing barely outta view was six ceramic water pots
Used for sanitization rituals  simply habitual Jewish customs
Kept w/ pride by like a fat medallion each tub was about' 25 gallons
Jesus had em' gather em'; and said, "Fill each pot w/ water "
And they did it till each was at the brim "
Now take a pitcher over to the Master of the Ceremony
And tell em' that was on me...and keep the party goin'
So when the Emcee took a sip of the water that was miraculously switched
Not fully knowing the real...but his busboys knew the deal
He just tripped & called for the groom back to the room to speak on this liquid!
He said, "Man you got me straight trippin on this tonic
To be honest...most folks serve their best stuff up front to astonish
And after they've impressed the crowds
They bring the cheap coolers out; but you saved the best till now!
This was the very first miracle in Galilee
Where Jesus had em' staggerin' at the Glory he unsleaved
And his whole set believed. His Disciples Mom's bretheren
All following his lead...went down to Capernaum
To retreat from the Journey and
You know how time flies when you ain't worryin'
Like a flurry in came the Passover season
So Jesus went to up Jerusalem to celebrate in the City of Peace and

Soon as he stepped inside the Temple Region,
The whole court was filled w/ legions of fools
Teamed w/ demons acting straight heathen!
Vendors selling Doves, Sheep Oxen right outta their carts
And like that wasn't goin' too far
The whole bazaar was run by Loan sharks
These fools were acting too bold, but now they pushed past the envelope
So Yeshu went & got a rope...that he made out of some leather,
And putting together a strap commenced to whipping heads right out the tabernac'
Sheep, Doves, & Cattle all got tackled
Every hustler, rouge and rascal, Jesus cast their money out too!
And He told those who were selling doves & pigeons
Get this ism outta my sight...
Makin' my Father's House a flee market don't you ever try it!
That's how he sparked it
And the disciples remembered David's prophetic remarks
That for zeal of God's house the Messiah would have mad heart
Now just who do you think you are?
The Jewish leaders stepped in, questionin'
If God is with you, show us a miraculous sign to justify your aggression man
Jesus answered them, "All right then
Break this temple down and in three days I'll build it up again "
Forty-six years to build this place & you can raise it up in three days?
You're hostile ways must have you dazed!
But Jesus spoke on the Temple of his fleshly frame
After He was resurrected, in retrospect they reflected
And realized that Jesus had said it just as the scriptures claimed
From that Passover trip up to Jerusalem, so many were moved by him
And believed on His name
Watching the miracles that Jesus displayed brought him mad fame
Nevertheless all the same Jesus played em' close;
Cause he knew how unpredictable & fickle the crowd goes
He knew what men were really like & didn't need a seminar;
So judging his popularity by poles was highly irregular
