Lyrics

Better Than Wine.

CHORUS 1:
When the sun peeks from the eastern hills, shyly making its way through the west,
I'll cherish all the beautiful moments your love brings with each blessed day.

Verse 1:
Your love Your love is better than Wine, Your love Your love You are so kind.
You have brought me from the wretched place and set me by Your side.

I will sing to You blessed Lord, I will sing for You care for me.
I will sing and praise Your Name; You brought me life.

Chorus2:
When the moon breaks through the clouds, the stars at night sing Your praise.
When I hear the sound of a newborn, my humble heart sings Your praise.

Verse 2:
Through You, by You, and for You, all things came forth, Lord, our sweet Redeemer.
For Your glory, O Most Holy, we declare You, Lord, O Messiah.

Your love Your love is better than Wine, Your love Your love You are so kind.
You have brought me from the wretched place and set me by Your side.

Chorus 3:
Draw me nearer to You, Jesus, and teach me Your ways.
Straighten my path, Holy Saviour; guide me through the dark.

Bridge:
Bring me to the place where we first met, take me to the life that is in You.
Holy Father lead me to the peace only through You.

Your way is the only way to find abundant life.
I will yield my heart to You, Lord Jesus, You are kind.

Your love is better than wine, Your love You are so kind.
Your love is better than wine, Your love is better than wine.
