No Patch/No Old Skins (New Cloth on an Old Garment/New Wine in Old Wineskins)

V6

[Intro — Spoken over a slow, building guitar riff] You can't mend the dead with a piece of cloth! You can't hold new wine in a vessel that's lost! The Bridegroom has come! The old shadows fall! THE KING HAS COME TO FULFILL IT ALL! [Verse 1 — Driving guitars, tight rhythmic vocals] They came with their questions, their rules, and their pride, Why aren't Your disciples fasting tonight? The Bridegroom is here, let the wedding bells ring! You can't mourn in the presence of the King! An unshrunk patch on a garment worn thin, Pulls at the seams till the tears begin. You can't stitch the Kingdom to a man-made creed, You can't earn the grace that you desperately need! The Law was holy, the standard was true, But every shadow was pointing to You. Not a patch for religion, not a mask for the shame, The promised Messiah has entered the frame! [Pre-Chorus — Drums building, guitars rising] No human merit! No saving pride! The old has reached its purpose The Truth has arrived! [Chorus — Huge melodic vocals, layered harmonies] No patch, no old skins! You can't pour new wine where the old life begins! You can't sew Your grace to the rags of my pride, I need a new heart, not a place to hide! New wine, new life! The blood of the Lamb has shattered the night! The shadows have passed, Your promise stands true, Jesus, You make all things new! [Verse 2 — Heavier riff, aggressive vocals] New wine is rising, the pressure is strong, Old wineskins break, when they can't hold on. The vessel must change, for the wine to remain, You can't cage the Kingdom, in a system of chains! Not empty religion, not outward display, Not words on my lips while my heart turns away. The Spirit gives life where the flesh cannot stand, A heart made alive by the Father's own hand! No works can purchase the grace You provide, No boast of the flesh can stand at Your side. From Abraham's faith to the cross on the hill, You keep every promise, Your covenant will! [Pre-Chorus — Gang vocals entering] No human merit! No saving pride! The Lamb has risen! The grave is denied! [Chorus — Full band, double-kick drums] No patch, no old skins! You can't pour new wine, where the old life begins! You can't sew Your grace, to the rags of my pride, I need a new heart, not a place to hide! New wine, new life! The blood of the Lamb has shattered the night! The shadows have passed, Your promise stands true, Jesus, You make all things new! [Bridge — Clean guitar, then steadily building] The Law was a shadow, The Substance is here! The Lamb bore the judgment, The cross conquered fear! The veil has been torn, The debt has been paid, The New Covenant sealed, By the blood You have laid! Not born of my will, Not earned by my hands, But mercy that saves, As Your sovereign grace stands! A heart of stone broken, A heart of flesh raised. All glory to Jesus, The Ancient of Days! [Breakdown — Half-time, crushing guitars, shouted vocals] No patch! You can't repair the stain! No old skins! The King has broken in! No works! Can buy the gift of grace! No boast! But Christ in my place! Dead in sin Made alive! By Your grace We arise! Not my glory! Not my name! Christ alone! Forever reigns! [Guitar Solo — Melodic, soaring, then descending into a heavy riff] [Final Chorus — Biggest vocals, choir layered behind the band] No patch, no old skins! The promised Messiah has conquered our sin! You fulfilled the Law, every promise made true The old finds its purpose and fulfillment in You! New wine, new life! The risen Son has defeated the night! No power of darkness can silence the truth, Jesus, You make all things new! Christ alone! Our righteousness stands! Grace alone! The work of Your hands! Faith alone! We cling to the Son! All glory to Jesus! The victory is won! [Outro — Slow, crushing final riff] No patch for my sin. No boasting in me. The old pointed forward, Christ set us free! The Bridegroom has come! The Lamb reigns above! New wine. New covenant. Eternal love. (Final sustained guitar chord)
