LYRICS
I’ve been adopted by the One True God
Was picked before the world began.
I’ve been adopted by the One, True God,
As a part of His glorious plan.
Justified by the Blood of God’s Holy, Righteous Lamb.
Set apart, and glorified, I am one with the Great “I Am.”
I am the Righteousness of God, in Christ,
A gift from God, by grace through faith.
I am the Righteousness of God in Christ.
As He is so am I in this world
I’m alive under grace and abiding in the Vine.
By His Covenant of Blood, I am His and He is mine!
I am a New Creation, priest and king,
Reborn of God by grace through faith.
I am a New Creation, priest and king,
Sent to speak words of Life to the dead.
So I boast in the Lord Who has made all things brand new.
If You ask Him and believe, You’ll be in God’s Kingdom too.

We know from scripture that Jesus was crucified, died and was buried, then He arose from the grave and later, ascended to heaven to sit at the right hand of Father-God.
We now also know, through the Fifth Gospel that Jesus revealed directly to Paul, that the same process happens spiritually, by grace through faith, to every in Adam person who becomes ”saved” by being reborn of God through agreeing with Romans 10:9-13.
By doing so, one’s core being – the spirit-self that is dead to God in Adam – is made alive as a New creation, who never existed before, and is now spiritually compatible –“one spirit” with God in Christ. Paul referred to this transformation happening in one’s “inner man.”
