“Born Again,” the second single from Chrys Jones' Trinity LP, is an illustration of a Christian conversion experience depicted from two different points of view, each with its own beat and flow.
The first half of the song is the voice of an evangelist, preaching the need to be “born again” into the...
[Hook]
The kingdom's coming
And, yes, you need it
But you can't even see it
Unless you have been
(Born again) Born again
(Born again) Born again
The gospel message
Yes, you hear it
But it's by the Holy Spirit
That you get
(Born again) Born again
(Born again) Born again
[Verse 1]
The Holy Spirit draws without a sketch pad or Number 2s
He's coming through to change dudes
And transform them completely into something new
Ain't talking 'bout no dead works or rapper-isms
It's Spirit baptism that gives dead hearts life, no substitute
Dry bones, they come alive, no soul can cry out to the Lord
'Til they're born from above, God gets credit for that score
We laying dead, 72 inches, not sick, you feel me
They're made alive, not revived or picked up off the floor
What about our choices? Well, that's grace, so come and follow Him
But know the Spirit opens you up like a hollow-tip
Instead of bringing death, though, He killed your pride, swallow it
And made you hate the very sin that Satan made you wallow in
Regeneration is miraculous and the fact is this
The Spirit isn't pacifist, He's active in this
War against the badness in us, when we attacking the lusts
He saved us and He's gonna keep us, don't be lacking in trust (uh)
[Hook]
The kingdom's coming
And, yes, you need it
But you can't even see it
Unless you have been
(Born again) Born again
(Born again) Born again
The gospel message
Yes, you hear it
But it's by the Holy Spirit
That you get
(Born again) Born again
(Born again) Born again
[Verse 2]
I feel like He's drawing me
And no, I ain't talking 'bout pencils
Predestined to be conformed to His stencil
I'm being transformed in my mental
I know I can be temperamental
Or maybe just too sentimental
Whatever this change is inside of me
It's making me feel like I'm sinful
Why am I living this way?
What if I slip in the grave while missing His name
All 'cause I'm living for fame
I need deliberate change, deliverance [aimed?]
Not in my mind
I need more than that if I really want to live
All of this time
Been faking and thinking I'm saved as a kid
But now it's making sense and it's killing me
What am I gonna do if I don't have the ability
I'm reading about the Christ and I know that I'm His enemy
Look at me, it doesn't seem that I am the remedy
Oh no, what do I do
What do I say, I guess I could pray
Confessing my sin and trust in the Way
The truth and the life, Lord, I'm coming today
Father God, I want to come in repentance
Knowing that Your Son came and took my sentence
I don't know a lot right now
But I trust in the door, He will be my entrance
In Christ is the best I'll ever be
Your Kingdom's the best I've ever seen
Holy Spirit, I guess I felt a breeze
Now I'm free and I know I'll never be alone again
[Outro]
(I'll never be alone again, alone again, alone again)
(I feel like He's drawing me)
(I'll never be alone again, alone again, alone again)
(Whatever this change is inside of me
It's making me feel like I'm sinful)
(I'll never be alone again, alone again, alone again)
(Your Kingdom's the best I've ever seen)
(I'll never be alone again, alone again, alone again)
(Holy Spirit, I guess I felt )
