To Be Born Again

“Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he can not enter into the kingdom of God.” John 3:3-5

When I behold the Lamb
I see the wretch I am
And as before Him I stand
I yield my soul into His hands

Then I plead for His Merciful Grace
As I look into His glorious face
No longer to be blinded by Satan
To my own sinful and twisted dark state

Oh to be washed in the blood
Which Jesus shed in His Love
For such an undone sinner as I
To be born again from above.

“That which is born of the flesh is flesh;
and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
Marvel not that I said unto thee,
Ye must be born again.”
John 3:6-7
