the words of the title
of
this poem beginning
an
affirmation of salvation
of
new life in the Christ
I
am reborn and already free
a
bold factual statement
but
one that does not easily
roll
from our human lips
we
are stuck, we struggle,
on
our own path, our journey
we
want to truly believe
to
trust in the sacrifice of God
we
cleave to the story
our
branches in the vine
grafted,
interwoven
we
seek to be guided, led,
by
the Spirit’s call for our lives
I
am reborn and already free
because
Christ died and He is risen
Jesus
already made
the
ultimate sacrifice
we
are reborn, alive, truly,
set
free of our chains
of
our human struggles, our sin
may
we live as if we trusted
these
holy words once again
