Born Again

Story Behind The Song

I wrote the original words and music for a sermon for my preacher. Then, one night we were at a show in Las Vegas at the Sahara Club, featuring The Platters, The Drifters and The Coasters. After the show, I was talking with Wendell who had gotten a standing ovation for his singing. We talked about our mutual interest in songwriting. He invited me to his home in Virginia for a week and came to my house in Idaho for a week and we co-wrote the Cast Out The Demons CD.

Lyrics

Born Again

Verse 1
Alone and in despair,
in the darkness, I cried out.
I couldn't take much more of it,
In my mind, it was like a shout.

Verse 2
The tears were burning hot.
How much lower could I go?
At the bottom of the pit,
your presence then filled up my soul.

Chorus
And I was Born Again,
with Jesus in that night.
Born again,
In the blackness there was light.
I knew you were with me.
I'd never be alone again.
I was born again.

Verse 3
My life was changed that day.
I turned from my sinful ways.
Your gifts filled up my life.
You sent to me my wife.

Verse 4
My soul was filled with peace.
My fears of death all ceased.
My earthly wants decreased.
Helping those in need increased.

Bridge to chorus
I've had much more blessings than I should.
I've been much more than I ever could.
That night turned into dawn again.
The night that I was Born Again.

Chorus
And I was Born Again,
with Jesus in that night.
Born again,
In the blackness there was light.
I knew you were with me.
I'd never be alone again.
I was born again.
