LYRICS
Born Again, I’ve been born again.
Baptized in Jesus, I am justified in Him.
Resurrected, ascended to the heavenlies
Where I live to give all glory to Your name.
I was lost, cut off from life and mercy
Dead to God and under Satan’s slavery.
But You bought my freedom with Your ♰
righteous blood, sweet Lamb. ♰
Thank You Father for a privileged destiny.
Now in You, I am a new creation,
Dead to self, a living sacrifice of praise.
Holy Spirit, sanctify my outer man, by grace, ✞
As I live in You through faith all of my days. ✞

COMMENTARY
Click on the red links above for supportive scriptures and explanations of terms in the Glossary.
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.”
