Born Again Lyrics

[Intro]
Ooh, ooh

[Verse 1]
I was down on my luck, I was stuck
I was running 'round broken-hearted
I was sinking so fast
I couldn't last falling apart

[Pre-Chorus]
And You could've ran away
Leaving me there in my shame
Leaving me fighting my pain
But You made a better way
Oh, ohh, ohhh

[Chorus]
I've been saved
Goodbye to the sinner, I'm held by the Father above
No more shame
Called out of the desert and drowned in the power of love
Amazing grace, my soul set free
Ain't no grave got a hold on me
I'm born again, born again
Washed by the water, I'm clean
[Verse 2]
My eyes have been open
You're showing me all of my life in a new light
Every step, every breath
Like it's the first time

[Pre-Chorus]
And You could've ran away
Leaving me there in my shame
Leaving me fighting my pain
But You made a better way
Oh, ohh, ohhh

[Chorus]
I've been saved
Goodbye to the sinner, I'm held by the Father above
No more shame
Called out of the desert and drowned in the power of love
Amazing grace, my soul set free
Ain't no grave got a hold on me
I'm born again, born again
Washed by the water, I'm clean

[Bridge]
Preacher told me the good, good news (oh-ohh, oh-ohh)
Went way down deep in the river blue (oh-ohh, oh-ohh)
Preacher told me the good, good news (oh-ohh, oh-ohh)
But ever since my heart met You
[Chorus]
I've been saved
Goodbye to the sinner, I'm held by the Father above
No more shame
Called out of the desert and drowned in the power of love
Amazing grace, my soul set free
Ain't no grave got a hold on me (no, no, no)
I'm born again, born again
Washed by the water, I'm clean (yeah!!)

[Outro]
Washed by the water, I'm washed by the water
Washed by the water, I'm washed by the water (oh, oh!)
Amazing grace, my soul set free!
Ain't no grave got a hold on me!
I'm born again, born again
Washed by the water, I'm clean

About

Genius Annotation

“Born Again” is Austin’s second single to be released; it debuted on Christian radio network Air 1 on August 24th, 2018. In “Born Again,” Austin is saying no matter what you have gone through you can be transformed.

Being born again is also one of the subjects that’s most talked about in the Bible. A prime example of what born again really means is captured in a conversation between Jesus and Nicodemus (a Pharisee) in John 3: 1-12. In verses 3-8:

3 Jesus 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. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. 7 Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again. 8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is everyone born of the spirit.
