1The blood of Jesus, O learn of God, Can give me peace within;
The blood of Jesus flowing free, Can cleanse me from all sin;
For I am born again, Born again, Lord, born again,
Hallelujah, I am born again.

RefrainBorn again, born again,
Hallelujah, I am born again;
Born again, born again,
Hallelujah, I am born again.

2The love of Jesus, O learn of God, Can bring me sweet release;
The love of Jesus flowing free, Can fill my heart with peace;
For I am born again, Born again, Lord, born again,
Hallelujah, I am born again.

3The power of Jesus, O learn of God, Can make me clean within;
The power of Jesus flowing free, Can save me from all sin;
For I am born again, Born again, Lord, born again,
Hallelujah, I am born again.
