Tune: Ach Gott Und Herr
('Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands')
John 3 v.1-8 part
********
John's Gospel Series (3)
To start a life, one needs be born
And so a happy day dawns
But as it is so physically
So is true spiritually
For Jesus said, Nicodemus
It is true of all of us
That except we be born again
We cannot see kingdom then
Kingdom of God, one needs enter
Though one has been repenter
Must needs be born, born from above
Born of the Spirit, the dove
Meaning [to] be born spiritually
To the new covenant see
Only God can such a thing do
To give each one a heart new
Not enough to be religious
Shall not in itself save us
Nor in a Christian upbringing
We need our live to God bring
And neither ritual, observance
Though this appears a good stance
yet each needs a relationship
With Jesus and true worship

- Comment from author about the poem: A hymn-poem in 8787 metre. I've tried to explain the term 'born again' or 'born from above'. I was reminded that to begin any life, we need to be born!

THANKS UNCLE STEVE ~ Nice gentle Hymn to sing along to ! Strength of Gods Service is Spiritual Strength not Physical. Many who are weak Physically ~ Blind ~ Wheelchair bound ~ Poor are Warriors in the Lord's Service ~ AMEN.
I am a BORN AGAIN CHRISTIAN and when people ask me to explain I say: I was born (Physically) in September 1983 and my parents were committed Born Again Christians ! I inherited many great traits from them ~ I was dedicated to God's Service and attended Church with them as a BABY. BUT that didn't make me a Christian you can't inherit Christianity. Because I was raised in Christian Home and regularly went to Church and read my BIBLE ~ by the age of TEN ~ I knew the Gospel Message and the injunction to be BORN AGAIN. At the age of TWELVE in Liverpool I went to a GOSPEL MEETING and realised to be a CHRISTIAN ~ to be BORN AGAIN I had to make a personal response and receive JESUS as my Own Personal Saviour. When the appeal was given I walked out to the front (in front of My Parents & Family) I was counselled and that evening I was BORN AGAIN and indwelt by God's Holy Spirit. Later I was Baptised by immersion and received in the Church (Evangelical) as a Member. I experience the POWER of the NEW SPIRITUAL BIRTH in my personal & corporate LIFE every DAY it makes me the Person I am ~ OK. Hope that helps ~ Yours as always BROTHER BRIAN !
That's brilliant Brian! I understand the phrase, though it can be said parrot-fashion by 'charismatics''. A joke - Two oldies at church. One said: 'Where's Mrs Bloggs (Joe's wife!)? The other one said ' Oh she's left; she's gone charismatic now. The first one says 'Oohh is that a serious illness? Will she recover?! heehee.
Another fine work, orchidee. I enjoyed the stanza about a new covenant!
Thanks w c. Oops a typo. 'Heat' in that verse now reads 'heart'.
Good one Orchi.
Thanks Gold.
