Amazing Recovery Music: Wine into Water
~by T. Graham Brown
Several years ago as we were updating “Why Don’t They Just Quit?” for our second printing I stumbled upon a music video that immediately cut to my heart. As soon as I heard it, it literally became part of me. I knew right away that the lyrics needed to be shared with our readers. The lyrics to “Wine into Water” were added to Part 4: Life in Recovery.

Wine into Water (lyrics)
You’ve heard a multitude of prayers on my behalf
I pray one more is not too much to ask
I’ve tried to fight this battle by myself
But it’s a war that I can’t win without Your help
Tonight, I’m as low as any man can go
I’m down and I can’t fall much farther
And once upon a time, You turned the water into wine
An’ now, on my knees, I’m turning to You, Father
Could You help me turn the wine back into water?
So many times I’ve hurt the ones I love
I pushed them to the edge of giving up
They’ve stood by me but how much can they stand
If I don’t put this bottle in Your hands?
Chorus
Tonight, I’m as low as any man can go
I’m down and I can’t fall much farther
And once upon a time, You turned the water into wine
An’ now, on my knees, I’m turning to You, Father
Could You help me turn the wine back into water?
I shook my fist at heaven for all the hell that I’ve been through
Now I’m begging for forgiveness and a miracle from You
‘Cause tonight, I’m as low as any man can go
I’m down and I can’t fall much farther
And once upon a time, You turned the water into wine
An’ now, on my knees, I’m turning to You, Father
Could You help me turn the wine back into water?

“You get to the point where you ask, ‘Are you sucking on the bottle or is it sucking on you?’ It was sucking on me. It was sucking my self-esteem, pride, confidence and everything. I woke up one day and I was a mess.”
