You Must Be Born Again

Bible Verses, Song, Words & Lyrics

You must be born again -

John 3:3-5 King James Version (KJV)

3 Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.

4 Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?

5 Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.

Song by Mahalia Jackson

Words / Lyrics

Old Nicodemus went calling, to see my Lord one night;
Master something's wrong with me, my heart's not feeling right.
You'll never change that feeling my son, my Master did explain;
You'll only know the answer, when you've been born again.

There is no substitute, salvation is your only route.
If you wish to pass the gate, you must be born again.
Your ticket you must buy, no place for your soul to hide
You'll be lost if you wait outside, you must be born again.

Oh the Lord respects no person, all are equal when we die.
The rich man and the pauper, in heaven live side by side.
At the judgment shall reveal, every deed that's been concealed.
We'll find these words are real, (you) we must be born again.
