Being Birthed In Christ
God was speaking truly to me
but I refused to heed His cry
Then disaster struck me one awful night
my wife Jean of 10 months wed did die
In the hospital, my anchor was removed
my life partner lost her very life
My little world came tumbling down
I felt stabbed like with a knife
At my bedside, I really prayed
Lord come in, I give myself to you
For the Lord showed He was love
willing to save me and create me anew
Jesus my saviour and redeemer
took my sin with Him on Calvary's cross
Over the next weeks and months
His word became life to travel across
To His destination within my soul
made me to truly learn how to pray
Now I had been birthed in Christ
to look forward to my eternal day
(This piece tells of the night I got saved by the Lord Jesus Christ when my dear first wife Jean died in October 1982 after only 10 months of marriage bliss, when I returned home from the hospital and received Jesus to be my Lord and Saviour and so being birthed in Christ.)
