Be Born Again
by Robert LaBarge © 2017It was said of Nicodemus
who had courage slightly squeamish
that he visited the Savior late one night
Where he asked about salvation
for himself and Jewish nation
so would Jesus kindly help him in this plight
Jesus said God had a simple plan
that all men must be born again
it really was as easy as all that
But Nick our friend did wonder
how a man could go back yonder
and become a little baby in no time flat
Jesus answered back so clearly
caused he loved this ruler dearly
knowing one like him could little understand
That flesh from flesh appeareth
but we needed a new spirit
and that is why He came into the land
For God so loved all sinners
whether old dudes or beginners
that He sent to them His one begotten Son
Who doesn't come condemning
or to lead us like a lemming
to a darkness that will never be undone
Yes His light will shine so brightly
if we enter in not lightly
but many choose the darkness to their doom
Because their deeds are evil
so they cause their own upheaval
sad, His light makes the barren heart to bloom
