REBORN

God, a distant notion
Me, an empty shell
Disembodied, all feelings quelled
Life, just words and motion
In tedious repetition
Endless cycle beyond control

Chasing illusive perfection
Groping for some kind of direction
Running from rejection
Hope extinguished, faith dispelled
Life, a masked delusion
Nothing but mass confusion
Slave to immoral infusion
Love's dejection, the final blow

God, providing redemption
Me, fulfilling his will
Regenerated, new life instilled
Now a hope a purpose,
Faith emerging victorious
My desire now fulfilled
