Filled (Born Again)
By Jaroslav Vasicko
Overflow, grinning to the brim
Brimming with joy and a big grin,
Fill me, God, fill me past the brim
Heal every hole and branches trim.
Come Holy Spirit, come, dear friend,
Into each crevasse and loose end,
Erase me once more and anew,
Rewinding of old tapes, ways renew.
Rewinding of times stuck on repeat
Rid of me for good to last heart beat,
Finish the job so I am finished
Clean me O’Lord to unblemished.
Go on already and replenish
Restore me for good with Your finish,
Whatever it takes, all hands on deck
Wreck by encounter, please do wreck.
By all of your means of means to end
Crucify me, make my story end,
To the ends of the earth, past there too
Until I’m dead and the devil too.
Born me again, make me disappear
Clearly now clear blank slate appears,
Canvas of rope and Your helping hand
Pull me up steady in plan grand.
Out of my belly rivers now can flow
Levels of levies, water overflow,
Slowly then steadied pace supply
Mutter of tongues with music rhyme.
Angelic that voice and I hear it well
The Word of our Lord pouring out of well,
Springing to top after time in hell
Rising again through my every cell.
As I become one with the Son of man
Rendered beyond choice of who I am,
Living for Him with each dying breath
I’m born once more with no more death.
It’s He that died for me so I could live
Lifting my burden and forgive,
Transacting of debt paid by sacrifice
With His very life as the only price.
He laid down for me so I could be free
Leaving me rested under shaded tree,
Doped up on hope instead of dope,
Swimming in love’s sealed envelope.
Sealed by the mighty hand of God
Delivered, redeemed, and sanctified,
Finally set free by His mercy’s grace
To overflow filled, in righteous place.
