With this 1ST Friday of the month I’m bringing back a fan favorite from the early years of my blog.
It’s no secret that God used rock music to rescue and save me during the 3RD week of August of 2006. He lifted me out of the pit of despair – out of the mud and the mire. He set my feet on solid ground, and (He) steadied me as I walked along. He has given me a new song to sing – a hymn of praise to our God. (Psalm 40:2-3a)
One of the earliest songs to sing that God presented me with was “Rebirthing” by Skillet. Debuting on my personal hit music chart just 4 weeks after salvation began for me – it spent 15 weeks on my chart – peaking at # 2 for 3 of those weeks. It tells the story of a “Rebirthing”:
♫ Feel Your presence
Filling up my lungs with oxygen
I take You in – I’ve died
Rebirthing now !
I wanna live forever – wanna live for You and me
Breathe for the first time now – I came alive somehow
Rebirthing now !
I wanna live my life – wanna give You everything
Breathe for the first time now – I came alive somehow
Right now ! Right now ! ♫
Are you ready for a “Rebirthing” ? He’s ready for you.
If you’re not yet ready to repent of your sins, receive His forgiveness, accept Jesus Christ into your heart as your Lord & Savior, and begin your own personal “Rebirthing” – then He will wait for you until you are ready.
Don’t wait too long. There’s a fantastic journey waiting for you. It’s in the lyrics.
It’s halftime my friends. I’ll be back on Sunday and Monday with 2 more blog posts for this weekend. Enjoy your Saturday. Thanks for going RETRO with me !
