“What Must One Do to Be Reborn?”

“What Must One Do to Be Reborn?”

While reaching out to win the lost;

  We reached out with the Word.

We gave the gospel here and there;

To some we seemed absurd.

A man stopped by upon a cane;

This man, He was not old.

He listened, hard to all my words;

The gospel to him told.

A man, he must be born again;

To enter heavens gate.

Repent my friend and turn to God;

Before it is too late.

His eyes, they looked straight into mine;

With seeking words, he asked.

“What must one do to be reborn?”

Stunned with his words, I gasped.

Oh, joyful day, a seeking heart;

Who truly wants to know.

This humble man cried out to God;

Christ washed him white as snow.

He said to me, I almost died;

A car wreck changed my life.

Within the wreckage my heart cried,

“My children and my wife!”

My sinful life flashed before me;

The fear I felt was true.

“Please Lord,” I cried, “Don’t let me die.”

“I’ll give my life to you.”

“Today is my new beginning,”

That’s what he said to me.

And off  He limped upon his cane;

Saved for eternity.
