This gospel blues song is inspired by Matthew 13:52, where Jesus speaks of the owner of a house who brings out treasures both old and new.
Scripture Matthew 13:52
52 He said to them, “Therefore every teacher of the law who has become a disciple in the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his storeroom new treasures as well as old.”
Lyrics
Verse 1
The owner of the house walked slow across the floor,
Yeah, the owner of the house walked slow across the floor,
He said I been keepin old things, but I found me something more.
Verse 2
He opened up the cupboard, dust fell on the ground,
Opened up the cupboard, dust fell on the ground,
Old truth still shining, new light all around.
Chorus
Old wine, new skin, same fire in the flame,
Old wine, new skin, yeah, the truth still the same,
What was spoken long ago still calling my name.
Verse 3
Scrolls on the table, lamp burning low,
Scrolls on the table, lamp burning low,
What the fathers whispered, now the children know.
Verse 4
Some folks want the old road, some want something new,
Some folks want the old road, some want something new,
But the house holds treasure enough for me and you.
Chorus (repeat)
Old wine, new skin, same fire in the flame,
Old wine, new skin, yeah, the truth still the same,
From the house of the kingdom, mercy came.
Outro
The owner of the house smiled, closed the door just right,
Yeah, the owner of the house smiled, closed the door just right,
Old and new together, walking in the light.
