There is a heavy, upbeat feel to this song that I particularly like. “Born Again” drives home the point that for us to experience new life, we need to give everything to God.
Newsboys is an Australian Christian rock band composed of Jody Davis, Duncan Phillips, Jeff Frankenstein and Michael Tait. Since their formation in 1985, they have released fourteen albums. The song “Born Again” is from their 2010 album of the same name.
Born Again
by Newsboys
Found myself looking into the mirror
Knew I wasn’t who I wanted to be
I was living like the way that I wanted
But my eyes reminded me I’m not free
Believe that I saw, everything that I know
Says I gotta go, tired of going solo
But I’m never gonna go there again
Chorus:
This is what it is
This is who I am
This is where I finally take my stand
I didn’t want to fall, but I don’t have to crawl
I’m not the one with two scarred hands
Givin’ him the best of, everything that’s left of
The life inside this man
I’ve been born again
I see you’re walking like you’re living in fear
Having trouble even looking at me
Wishing that they give you more than words
Sick of people telling how it should be (how it should be)
What’s your download, where’d you get your info
Saw that I’m show, now you’re in the in-load
I’m gonna tell you what I believe, Oh
(Chorus)
We are the ones, he called by name
Never gonna look back
Let go, let go the guilt the shame
I said I’m never gonna look back
This is who I am
(Chorus 2x)
I am born again
Wonderful message!
We must all live our Christian lives showing love in our deeds (not just our piety or our preaching)!
Yup Newsboys did a good job with this song.
