New Wine (Is My Bible A Barricade?)

[Verse 1]
Is my Bible a barricade to keep Heaven shut?
Are its gold gilded edges really meant to draw blood?
Am I screaming out the "truth" while I'm leaving out the love?
Then I'm fake as the wine in my cheap plastic cup

[Verse 2]
Are my scriptures just borders between them and us?
Do my keys to the kingdom keep kindness locked up?
Does my God love the world or just hate who I hate?
Then I'm stale as that Styrofoam bread that we break

[Chorus]
Lord, we need that new wine
And new faces 'round the table
Lord, we gotta fling wide
That open invitation

[Verse 3]
Is this banquet of grace just for overfed mouths
While the starving and the desperate nowhere to be found?
Are we feasting on blessings while the hungry look on?
Is our holy communion even holy at all?

[Chorus]
Lord, we need that new wine
And new faces 'round the table
Lord, we gotta fling wide
That open invitation

[Post-Chorus]
Let 'em come runnin'
'Cause if they're banging on the door of our hearts
We can't leave 'em out in the cold
Lord, we need that new wine
And new faces 'round the table

[Verse 4]
Are we preachers or predators hiding our crimes?
Is a long trail of victims the fruit of our tithes?
Is our good news beginning to sound like a curse?
Then we're broke as that body that Christ broke for us

[Chorus]
Lord, we need that new wine
And new faces 'round the table
Lord, we gotta fling wide
That open invitation

[Post-Chorus]
Let 'em come runnin'
'Cause if they're banging on the door of our hearts
Then we can't leave them out in the cold
Lord, we need that new wine
And new faces 'round the table
