New Wine
by Hillsong Worship
Theology & Meaning
Rooted in the biblical concept that God brings renewal through surrender. The lyrics acknowledge that in Christ our lives are a living sacrifice - as we lay down our old fire and old ways, God's Spirit fills us with new power and purpose. Centers on trust in God's process of transformation.
Worship Leadership Tips
Works well in response to a sermon about trust or during times of dedication and prayer. Start gently to create a prayerful atmosphere. Encourage the congregation to make the words a personal prayer of surrender.
Arrangement Tips
Perhaps invite them to open their hands or kneel as a sign of yielding to God's refining work. Flowing into a time of prayer or a song on the Holy Spirit after can deepen the moment.
