There was once a Garden sin and shame eroded
If I close My eyes, I can feel the implosion
Yet in the holy mind, not a day is wasted
To dig the buried wells for the water of Eden

I could spend eternity without you by My side
But we would miss the whole point of this sacrificial life
Hidden in the Vine are the deepest mysteries
Eve was just a shadow of the bride made ready

I am your better wine
And darlin', you are Mine

It’s in the way you choose to think of all things good and true
The way you serve and nurture everyone surrounding you
How you’re given to Me with no hesitations
Fidelity is best expressed in free obedience

I am your better wine
And darlin', you are Mine

We have come so far from where we started out from
Every valley and mountain where you learned to trust
I can feel the cost, I know the weight of your cross
But you have got Me wrapped up, dear, it only takes one look

Even when you don’t get it right, I see every time you try
And in My best bottles, I’ve kept every tear you’ve cried
Bathe in this better word, abide in this Vine

I am your better wine
And darlin', you are Mine
