Born Again

He had came to me in love
I had turn my back away
I do not need your cares
I do not need your ways

I am now deaf to his callings
and now blind to his light
I made much excuses
but none of which seemed right

I lay in bed awake
I cried most every day
But my tears, fears, and sadness
Made me forget the love He gave

Me life by his son
Me pain by the cross
and his promises
for those whose saved and lost

In sleep, I finally went
in the dark without a dream
when someone touched my shoulder
and said "I'm here again."

"I told you I will return
But I knew not when nor how
The father has called me
To say to join him now."

This sudden invitation
Made my ears, now can hear
This unplanned inspiration
Made my eyes are now aware

That His cares, now I need
and to follow all his ways
For this I give him thanks
For giving me life again
