Reborn

You made me, formed me and breathed life into me,

You gave me life, strength and purpose.

I was an earthen vessel, perfect and unique, blameless but for the sin born into me.

For man had sinned and upon his heirs, laid the burden of disobedience and death.

You gave us law, seemingly impossible, but ultimately righteous,

A code that if followed would certify us and yet leave us hollow.

But your plan was amazing, the redemption of creation,

To give unto us a perfect blood, blameless and sinless

Completing and astounding, penetrating and healing

The life of your son given, his perfection forsaken,

To the depths he descended, to the destroy the hinges,

The gates of hell obliterated, the keys of life retaken

For I once was born, deposited into this world,

Its stains entered and upon me, decaying the great creation

But your blood it did rebirth me,

Cleansing and rejuvenating, refreshing and never ending

Poured out over me, my sins are sunken,

Hidden beneath the tides, but your love now fills me

Where once there was death, now there is life,

Where once perfection was forsaken, now redemption and salvation

Is the key to your presence, where now I can sing a song never written

The song of emancipation, liberation and deliverance.

For once I was born unto death, now I am restored,

I am alive,

I am REBORN
