Born Again

All that I have and am on earth
I commit to God and His Son
I have been taught unto rebirth
As a new creature, I have sprung

I must press on, proving steadfast in Christ
Who, through His merits, is mighty to save
I've entered the path to eternal life
Which, through His atoning grace, He did pave

In His name, I can weekly partake
That the Spirit might in me take root
He can cleanse me of the sins I make
So I might taste of the sweetest of fruits

Old temptations lose their appeal
As I renew covenants to obey
I humbly pray to know of God's will
For, he gives me strength and makes a way

With all of my might, mind, and heart
May I be devoted without reserve
And of those who've helped me from the start
May I honor them as I serve
