Born Again
Day Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Well today I found myself
After searching all these years
And the man that I saw
He wasn't at all who I thought he'd be

I was lost when you found me here
I was broken beyond repair
Then you came along
And you sang your song over me

It feels like I'm born again
If feels like I'm living
For the very first time
For the very first time
In my life

Make a promise to me now
Reassure my heart somehow
That the love that I feel
Is so much more real than anything

I've a feeling in my soul
And I pray that I'm not wrong
That the life I have now
It is only the beginning

It feels like I'm born again
It feels like I'm living
For the very first time
For the very first time
It feels like I'm breathing (feels like I'm born again)
It feels like I'm moving (feels like I'm living)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
For the very first time (for the very first time)

Wasn't looking for
Something that what was more
Than what I had yesterday
Then you came to me
And you gave to me
A life and a love
That I've never known
That I've never felt before

It feels like I'm born again (feels like I'm born again)
If feels like I'm living (feels like I'm living)
For the very first time (for the very first time)
I'm living for the first time (for the very first time)

It feels like I'm breathing (feels like I'm born again)
It feels like I'm moving (feels like I'm living)
For the very first time (for the very first time)




I'm living for the first time (for the very first time)
In my life

I was delivered of depression 2 years and every day that I've lived since that night I was delivered, feels like this: It feels like I've just been born. I feel the joy of living each day. I dont think of dying anymore. I greet each new day with a grateful heart. I'm so thankful that there IS such a God who is able to deliver.

@nickmorgan8434

I'm on that road now

@tydangles13

Amen. I also was delivered from depression, addiction, shame, guilt, resent, etc. only a short 4 months ago but feels brand new every day. Prayers that all may find Truth and peace in the Light of Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior!!!!!!!

@pilotpreacher5462

Amen!

Just keep staying close to Him...keep opening that amazing Book.. the Bible..it is So powerful, it will keep us close. It will teach us to overcome & it will be our ARMOUR in these dangerous Last Days..

@grannywoods12

Wow. Written 12 years ago, delivered 2 years prior, making it a total of 14 years ago. This happened to me too. It was 37 years ago for me (man, I'm old, lol). But, I remember it, on a Monday night in the church parking lot in my car. I know that I know that I know if I hadn't gotten saved that night, I wouldn't be here today and I would had ended my life. So thankful for God's grace. Exactly! Felt like being born again. Love this song.

Growing up I would hear this song all the time on the radio, wasn't until I fell away from Jesus and my whole life fell apart and back in 2017 I gave my life back to Christ, that I completely understand what this song means. I thank God every day he never stopped chasing me when I walked away from him. The way God transformed me it's like night and day and I can say with 100% sincerity that when I gave my life back to Christ something in me changed and I truly became a completely different person, coming back to Jesus was the best decision I have ever made

This song was a big part of my recovery. I was a very bad junkie. I went to rehab and that's where I first heard this song for the first time. This song fits me to a T. For the very first time I am truly living life.

Thank you father God for your love and mercy ❤
