In the crushing, in the pressing
You are making new wine
In the soil I, now surrender
You are breaking new ground
So I yield to You and to Your careful hand
When I trust You, I don't need to understand
Make me Your vessel, make me an offering
Make me whatever You want me to be
I came here with nothing but all You have given me
Jesus, bring new wine out of me
Ohh
In the crushing, in the pressing
You are making new wine (Yes, You are)
In the soil I, now surrender
You are breaking new ground, oh
You are breaking new ground
So make me Your vessel, make me an offering
Make me whatever You want me to be
I came here with nothing but all You have given me
Jesus, bring new wine out of me
Jesus, bring new wine out of me
Jesus, bring new wine out of me
Where there is new wine
There is new power
There is new freedom
The Kingdom is here
I lay down my old flames
To carry Your new fire today
Make me Your vessel, make me an offering
Make me whatever You want me to be
I came here with nothing but all You have given me
Jesus, bring new wine out of me
Bring new wine out of me
Have Your way, have Your way
Lord, I don't want what's been, I want what's next, God
Would You increase my capacity for Your new wine?
(New wine, oh, new wine) Yeah
(New wine, oh, new wine) Holy Spirit, come Holy Spirit
Have Your way (New wine, oh, new wine)
God, I'm for a new wine (New wine, oh, new wine)
How'd You crush me, how'd You press me up, I want more
(New wine, oh, new wine) God, I want more
(New wine, oh, new wine) Have Your way, ohh
And where there is new wine (New wine)
There is new power
There is new freedom (Freedom)
And the Kingdom is here
I lay down my old flames
To carry Your new fire today
Where there is new wine
Where there is new wine (New wine)
There is new power
There is new freedom (Freedom)
And the Kingdom is here
I lay down my old flames
To carry Your new fire today
To carry Your new fire today
To carry Your new fire today
"New Wine" by Hillsong Worship is a powerful and inspiring song that speaks to the transformative work of God in our lives. The song is featured on Hillsong Worship's album "There Is More" and has resonated with listeners around the world.
From the very first line, "In the crushing, in the pressing, you are making new wine," we are reminded that God often works in our lives through difficult and challenging circumstances. Just as grapes are crushed and pressed to produce new wine, God uses the trials and struggles we face to bring about growth and transformation in our faith. This imagery is a beautiful reminder that God is always at work, even in our darkest moments.
The lyrics further emphasize the surrender and yielding to God's will, as we are called to trust Him even when we don't understand. This echoes the words of Proverbs 3:5-6, which says, "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight." When we trust God and submit to His plan, He can do amazing things in and through us.
The chorus of the song, "Make me Your vessel, make me an offering, make me whatever You want me to be," reflects the desire to be used by God in whatever way He sees fit. It echoes Romans 12:1, which says, "Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship." We are called to surrender ourselves fully to God and allow Him to shape us into vessels that can be used for His glory.
The bridge of the song declares, "Where there is new wine, there is new power, there is new freedom. The Kingdom is here." This speaks to the transformative power of the Holy Spirit in our lives. When we allow God to work in us and through us, His power is unleashed, bringing freedom and ushering in His Kingdom. This aligns with the words of Jesus in Matthew 9:17, where He says, "Neither do people pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst; the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved."
Overall, "New Wine" is a song of surrender, trust, and transformation. It reminds us that God is always at work in our lives, even in the midst of challenging circumstances. It encourages us to yield to His will, offering ourselves as vessels for His use. And it reminds us of the power and freedom that come from embracing the Spirit's work in our lives.
As we listen to and sing this song, may it serve as a reminder of God's faithfulness and the incredible work He is doing in and through us. May it inspire us to surrender ourselves fully to Him, trusting in His plan and allowing Him to bring forth new wine in our lives.
