Born Again

I was born in sin and in sin did my mother conceive me; I wallowed in my iniquities and allowed satan to deceive me. I hurried out to do things which were not just and right; Occasionally they were done during the day, but mostly at night. It wasn't because I was ashamed, that's just when friends got together; We'd party and have a good time no matter what the weather. We dress for the occasion and stayed out all night long; We were hard hearted and not listening to our parents sayng we were wrong. We knew what we were doing and was gonna do it our way; It did not matter what people would think or what they had to say. Then one day the Lord pricked my stony heart; He said the ones I was hanging with, it was time for me to depart. He said; "Come out from among them and be ye separated; Abide in Me and I in you and be ye elevated." "Lay aside every weight and the sin which so easily besets you, My Lord said; "Listen to the words of your Father before satan gets you." Now I had a race to run, I was running for my life, I wanted to be full of the Holy Spirit with a mind like Jesus Christ. So I hurried out to do thngs which were just and right, Mostly I did them during the day, occasionally at night. I was not ashamed when friends saw me or we got together, Only we would praise the Lord and have a good time no matter what the weather. We would dress for the occasion and shout all the day long, Our hearts were happy as we listen to God's Word and gave up the wrong. The Lord purged me from iniquities, No longer did I live in sin. Satan could not deceive me becaused I believed; I WAS BORN AGAIN!!
