Anew

John 3:3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except one be born anew, he cannot see the kingdom of God. (ASV)

When things aren’t going your way
You tend to say
A “do-over” I claim
Maybe I’ll win the game.

In life we tend
To wish to restart
Troubles create paths
From which we wish to depart.

We all make mistakes
And life says we must pay
But eternity also demands
An account we shall say.

We go through this life
Preparing for the next one
This life’s problems were solved
By God giving us his Son.

Jesus solved the problem
He died to conquer sin
He rose from the grave
And gave you power from within.

Grasping the power of the gospel
Through your heart understand
Let Jesus lead this life
Let him take your hand.
He said My Yoke is easy
My burden is light
The struggles that bind you
He will carry with his might.

Give your life to Jesus
Let your life become anew
Let your heart understand his gospel
It is that simple to do.
