I need a new birth

A Poem on Psalm 78


If I had all blessing

I’d still be redressing

My complaint about God

O’er mercy run roughshod


Though mercies unfold

My heart is still cold

I want it my way

God as valet

He should supply

And not question why

Let Him show wonders

And ignore all my blunders


My heart so dark

There is not a spark

Of love for the Throne

There’s sin to the bone

Good gifts won’t create

Nor my sins to negate

I must be made new

A clean heart to debut


What I need is a change

Sovereign grace to arrange

A new second birth

But not from the earth

For if I am to live

The Spirit must give

That birth must precede

For faith to proceed

No blessings will save

My soul from the grave

But a new life must come

All of grace to be from
