New Wine in Old Wineskin — Lyrics
VERSE 1
I see the saints dey gather oh, for Sunday service,
But before dem come, dem tie prayer shawl for practice.
Dem follow Leviticus chop, den run go Corinthians
One leg for law, one leg for grace, confusion dey do gymnastics!
Dem dey guard the Sabbath well, no work at all,
But condemn their neighbor with a proud heart, small small.
The letter of the law, dem hold am tight-tight,
But the Spirit of the Gospel, dem don lose the light.
PRE-CHORUS
You no fit mix the bitter water with the sweet wine!
You no fit use old garment cover new design!
The covenant don change, oh, make you no dey blur am,
Na disaster waiting when the pressure come!
CHORUS
New wine for old wineskin? E go burst!
New cloth for old garment? E go tear!
You dey try to serve two masters, e no fit work!
Na so your faith go dey leak, you go lose the mark!
Jesus Christ na the New Covenant, full and complete!
He don fulfill the law, make your worship clean!
No carry yesterday’s yoke for today’s race, my brother!,
Old wineskin and new wine na serious disaster!
VERSE 2
You dey build altar of sacrifice for your parlour?
Wey the Lamb of God don die for Calvary corner?
You dey look for earthly priest to mediate for you?
When the Veil don tear, and Jesus dey wait for you!
The feast don change, na joy and liberty we dey celebrate!
No be for physical Jerusalem we dey wait!
The kingdom na within, powered by the Spirit!
If you carry old bottle, you go never fit get it!
BRIDGE
The law was a tutor, a shadow of the good thing:
But the Body don come, make you no dey hold the covering!
Why you dey go back to elementary school?
When the University of Grace don open for you?
Na freedom we get, but no be for sin oh!
Na to walk in the Spirit, make He lead you within oh!
The old system fade away, when the new one show face
Don't dilute the Gospel with that ancient case!
OUTRO
(Choir string hum)
What Is the New Wine?
The new wine represents the New Covenant, life in the Spirit, and the grace of God revealed through Jesus Christ.- Old wineskin represents the Mosaic Law, ritual-based righteousness, and rigid religious systems. Jesus did not come to upgrade Judaism - He came to fulfill and abolish it.
📖 New Wine Old Wineskin
- “Why You Must Be Born Again and Leave Old Religion to Embrace Christianity.
- Jesus was not offering religious reform—He was declaring spiritual replacement".
📖 A Covenant Revolution
- "And no one pours new wine into old wineskins. Otherwise, the new wine will burst the skins..." (Luke 5:37-38) Jesus was not teaching about winemaking; He was unveiling a covenantal shift. The life He offers cannot be contained in religious traditions, legalism, or inherited systems."
The new covenant does not repair the old - it replaces it.
- Born Again Means Letting Go
- "Unless a man is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." (John 3:3) Being born again is not a renovation; it is death and resurrection. You cannot carry the Law in one hand and grace in the other.
🍇 Let’s Break It Down — Christianity & Judaism - Incompatible Covenants
📜 Judaism: Awaits the Messiah - Christianity declares He has come.
Christianity is not an add-on to Judaism — it is the new wine.
“For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone who believes.”
(Romans 10:4). Remaining under the Law after Christ is spiritual regression.
Let’s call it like it is:
“The Holy Spirit does not inhabit religious loyalty. He fills regenerated hearts — new vessels, surrendered and renewed".
