35. Born Again

1 I am happy, O so happy,
Since my soul has been redeemed,
By the blood of the Lamb that was slain,
And I’m singing and I’m shouting,
As I journey here below,
Hallelujah, I’ve been born again!

Refrain:
Born again, hallelujah!
Born again, hallelujah!
I was dead in sin till He entered in,
But now I’m born again, hallelujah!

2 I am praising, yes, I’m praising
My new Master, King, and Lord,
I would join in the angelic strain;
I am singing and I’m shouting,
His great name must be adored,
Hallelujah, I’ve been born again! [Refrain]

3 I am serving, yes, I’m serving
The dear Lord who died for me,
And by service advancing His reign.
I am singing and I’m shouting,
For God’s gift on Calv’ry’s tree,
Hallelujah, I’ve been born again! [Refrain]
