We talked and this he told me,
'I don't have to run from sin,
For now I have repented
And have been 'born agin'.
You see, it matters little,
All the good or bad we do;
What saved me was the power of grace
And that should see me through'
I pondered what this covered,
Wondered when this grace begins;
Does it cover misbehavings
On past and future sins?
Then, looking all about me
To survey the plights of man,
I wondered if it mattered
This, or any other plan.
I don't intend to denigrate
Man's thoughts on soul or sin;
Should we seek another way to go,
Or live with 'born agin'.

On reading your notes Joseph, yes I agree with you. Being 'born again' means a great deal more than many truly understand. An excellent write, very wise.
