Lyrics
Jeremiah 31:31-34
Behold, the days are coming, says the Lord,
When I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and with the
House of Judah 32 not according to the covenant that I made with
Their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to lead them
Out of the land of Egypt,
My covenant which they broke,
Though I was a husband to them, says the Lord.
33 But this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel
After those days, says the Lord: I will put My law in their minds,
And write it on their hearts;
And I will be their God, and they shall be My people.
34 No more shall every man teach his
Neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, '
Know the Lord,' for they all shall know Me,
From the least of them to the greatest of them, says the Lord.
For I will forgive their iniquity,
And their sin I will remember no more."
1 Corinthians 11:25
In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, "
This cup is the new covenant in My blood.
This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me."
Isaiah 49:6
It is too small a thing that You should be My Servant to restore
The tribes of Jacob, and bring back those of Israel I have kept.
I will also make You a light to the Gentiles that
My salvation will reach to the ends of the earth.
YESHUA

Meaning & Inspiration
New Covenant is built directly from biblical passages rather than a separate narrative. The lyric begins with Jeremiah’s promise that God will establish a new covenant, write his law on the heart, forgive iniquity, and remember sin no more. It then turns to Jesus’ words over the cup, identifying the new covenant with his blood and remembrance of him.
The closing passage widens the scope from Israel’s restoration to salvation reaching the nations. Isaiah 49:6 describes the servant as a light to the Gentiles, while the final declaration of “Yeshua” names Jesus as the focus of the assembled texts. Jeremiah 31:31-34 and 1 Corinthians 11:25 are not merely thematic parallels; their wording forms the substance of the song. Together, these passages connect forgiveness, inward renewal, remembrance, and worldwide salvation. The result is a Scripture-centered confession in which covenant promise and fulfillment are placed side by side.
