THE ORIGINAL GOSPEL HARMONETTE’S : Pastor J.K. Rodgers
PLEASE RATE AND ENJOY!
BE BLESSED BY THIS!
Long ago, I didn’t know nothing about Jesus and His love
I had heard about Him, but I had never felt
this manna which comes down from above
In this life of sin I could no longer stand
I asked my mother how do you get to know the man
She said you must be, don’t you see you’ve got to be ....Born again
You must have that fire and Holy Ghost
that Burning churning keeps the prayer wheel turning
The kind of religion you cannot conceal
It makes you move, makes you shout,
Makes you cry when it’s real
I’ve got my hand right in the windin’ chain
My souls been anchored in my Jesus’ name
I’m filled within, I’ve free from sin
You know I’ve been born again
I started to walk, I had a new walk
I started to talk, I had a new talk
I looked at my hands, my hands looked new
I looked at my feet and they did too
I’ve got my hand right in the windin’ chain
My souls been anchored in my Jesus’ name
I’m filled within, I’ve free from sin
You know I’ve been born again
