Born Again



THERE WAS A WAR TORN VILLAGE IN GERMANY
IN WHOSE VILLAGE SQUARE
WAS A CAROUSEL
DAMAGED
THOUGH THE LION
STILL CHASED THE TIGER
WHO CHASED THE HORSE
BUT THE MUSIC WAS STILLED

IT NEEDS REBIRTH I THOUGHT
TO RESTORE LAUGHTER TO THE CHASE
IT NEEDS REBIRTH

ODD PHRASE I THOUGHT
WHEN USED BY CHRISTIANS
AS IF BY MERELY THINKING IT
THE CAROUSEL WAS FIXED

NO MENTION OF THE MECHANIC
AND THE CARPENTER'S SKILL

AND WHEN FIXED
NO MENTION OF THE MAINTENANCE

WHEN ONE IS REBORN BY WATER
AND THE SPIRIT
IS THAT THE END OF IT

WILL THE HORSE NEVER LOSE AN EAR
WILL THE STRAP ON THE GIRAFFE
NEVER BREAK
OR THE CALLIOPE
NEVER NEED TUNING

WILL THE PERSON
THE DAY AFTER BEING SAVED
STILL NEED TO SHAVE

WILL SHOELACES NEVER BREAK
OR TOAST BE BURNED
WILL HE NEVER WAKE UP GRUMPY

WILL HE NEVER
CRAVE A WOMAN NOR WEALTH
WILL HE NEVER BE TESTED BY HEALTH

MERRY GO ROUNDS NEED FIXING
AND SO DO WE
BEFORE THE LION
WILL CHASE THE TIGER
WHO CHASES THE HORSE

AND THE CALLIOPE FILLS THE AIR

Very well put. I think sometimes we forget that everyday we need to drown the old Adam and let the new person in Christ come forth.
