Long ago I didn't know nothing about Jesus and His love I'd heard about it but I never felt it, this manna that falls from above When this life of sin I could no longer stand I asked my mother, "Mama, how can I get to know the man?" She said, "You must be, don't you see, you gotta be born again" Long ago I didn't know nothing about Jesus and His love I'd heard about it but I never felt it, this manna that falls from above When this life of sin I could no longer stand I asked my mother, "Mother, how can I get to know the man?" She said, "You must be, don't you see, you gotta be born again" Oh, you must have that fire and Holy Ghost that burning thing that keeps the prayer wheels turn Than kind of religion you can not conceal It makes you move It makes you shout It makes you cry if it's real I've got my hand in the winding chain My soul's been anchored in my Jesus' name You know I'm filled within, free from sin I know that I've been born again If you're looking for something to ease your troubled mind Don't go to friends, don't go to loved ones For no help in them you'll find In this world of sin I could no longer stand I asked my mother, "Mother, how can I get to know the man?" She said, "You must be, don't you see, you gotta be born again" Oh, you must have that fire and Holy Ghost that burning thing y'all that keep the prayer wheels turn Than kind of religion you can not conceal It makes you move It makes you shout It makes you cry if it's real I've got my hand in the winding chain My soul's been anchored in my Jesus' name I'm filled within, free from sin I know that I've been born again You must have that fire and Holy Ghost that burning in me that'll keep the prayer wheels turn Than kind of religion you can not conceal It makes you move, shout It'll make you cry if it's real I've got my hand right in the winding chain My soul's been anchored in my Jesus' name I'm filled within, free from sin I know that I've been born again I've been born again I've been washed in the blood of the lamb My soul's ??? in Jesus' name I've been dyed in the Lord I've been baptized I've been born again I remember that day, I remember it well He saved my soul I can tell
