Wine Into Water
T Graham Brown Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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
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?
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?
Could You help me turn this wine back into water?
Yeah, yeah
In "Wine Into Water," T Graham Brown sings about his struggles with alcohol addiction and his plea for divine intervention. The lyrics convey a sense of desperation and helplessness as the singer admits to being low and unable to fight the battle alone. The opening lines reveal that the singer has had people pray for him in the past, but he needs yet another prayer to help him overcome his addiction.
The chorus about turning wine to water is a metaphor for the singer's desire to reverse his addiction and return to a state of sobriety. He implores God to help him cleanse himself of his addiction and be forgiven for the hurt caused to his loved ones. There is a sense of remorse as the singer acknowledges the damage he has caused by his addiction, but also a sense of hope that he can change his life around.
The song is a moving portrayal of the struggles of addiction and the power of faith in overcoming these challenges. It is a reminder that we are all capable of faltering but can seek help and guidance to find our way back to a path of healing and redemption.

January 24, 2001 I went to a bachelor party for a good friend. About an hour or so into it I was as incredibly bored, so I left. I decided on my way home that I was done with Drinking. When I laid down to go to bed I said what was at that time the longest most heartfelt prayer I had ever said, asking God to take my want/need for alcohol AWAY. I didn't want it anymore. The word AMEN had barely left my mouth when Wine Into Water came on the radio. I listened to every word and cried like a baby. I took hearing this song at that moment as God's way of telling me he had heard my prayer and it would be answered. It was. This past January I celebrated 21 beautiful years SOBER. To this day I cry like a baby when I hear this song, but they're tears of thankfulness now. This past September I got to see him perform. I cried BIG tears hearing him sing it in person right in front of me. After the show I was blessed with getting to talk to him, share his hand and thank him for this song, sharing my story with him. It was something I will not forget.

Congratulations on your sobriety. This past April I had 25 years. I was driving to work one Sunday morning and Wine into Water came on the radio I to cried and could relate to this song. I was 2 years sober at the time. When I get down or feel frustrated I listen to this song to pull myself out of it.

I’ve just come back from a convention in Birmingham England this song was sung by 500 sober alcoholics the miracle is possible
@Viper316RKO1
I cannot listen to this song and most especially this raw performance without tears running down my face. I'm just over 500 days clean and sober. Life is more precious to me now. God bless all of you, especially those struggling with getting clean and sober. One day at a time. You are not alone.
