0148 A New Spirit Within

A New Spirit Within
______________________________________________
During the darkness of night, he came to Jesus, the true source of love
Seeking wisdom, seeking understanding about heaven above

Master, he asked, “How does one inherit life without end?
The Master responded, “Nicodemus, You must be born again!”

Confused, uncertain, he asked, “How could this be?”
“How could I enter my mother’s womb and again appear unto thee?”

This mystery is hidden in the scriptures of old
The Apostle Paul explained it; in the Book of Romans he told

That the Law required for sin a sacrifice to be made
For the wages of sin had to be paid

As Paul explained, we have all been stained by sin
Atonement must be made before our new birth can begin

Our old man must die symbolically with him
For our new man to be born, a new spirit within

Confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus, believe in your heart
That Jesus was raised from the dead, for your new birth to start

If you obey these words which long ago Paul did pen
You too will discover a new spirit within
