BE MADE NEW

We ask the Lord
to Let it Rain
Open the Heavens, Father,
Let it Pour Down
Without realizing
He’s already sent the rain
He’s pouring out now
But our jars are broken
The clay is cracked
And what we collect runs out
While we’re trying to drink it

We want to take it to others
But it’s spilling to the ground
As we try to pass it on
So the little we have is lost
Before our neighbor can catch it
And now we’re all dying of thirst
While the rain pours down around us

We need new wineskins
To hold what’s already been given
So we let it fill us up
And make us new
As we offer it to others
So now they're receiving the overflow
The top, not the bottom,
The best, not the dregs
Mixed with the residue of our lack
