Reborn empowered
All strongholds broken
Old ways have died
Given new life
Boldness engulfs my every word
Strength empowered by God

Jesus–the strength in Christ’s name
Power–all knees must bow

The same Spirit that dwells in us
Raised Him from the dead
This gift freely given
You will believe

Evil–its plan to deceive
Manipulation, deception, we bind
Rebirth–confession that He is God Almighty
Exult you sinners

Reborn empowered
All strongholds broken
Old ways have died
Given new life
Rebirth, confess, our Lord
–Living Sacrifice, “Reborn Empowered”–
