Poem - Born Again

The veil is removed –the new me is unraveled

No more walking in darkness; weakened by hollow philosophies

Now walking in the heavenly light – illuminated the eyes of my heart

To discern the reality of life and mysteries of His indissoluble Kingdom

I soar on the daily relationship with God, his Word a delight to my soul

Memories of yesterday that would invariably pull me back to the old life

Died out without lingering – oh what inexpressible joy to know

This weight that rested on my shoulders has been lifted

This salvation freely gifted

I’m born again
Jesus is my Lord and Savior
I’m born again
My sins washed by the blood of Jesus
I’m born again
Sanctified and justified
I’m born again
Baptized by the Holy Spirit
I’m born again
Assured of eternal life through Jesus
I’m born again
Because I’m in Christ – there is no condemnation

At the restoration of creation, my soul will not suffer damnation

The curtain is torn, salvation is flowing

Christ is risen, his glory is ever glowing

Mounting opposition, yet the saints still stand and growing

The world offers many momentary pleasures

Yet what I have gained in Christ is more than many treasures

Infinite love and enduring wisdom paired, awe in me instill,

Captured my heart; I surrendered to his will.
