Except Poem by Richard Merrell

Excepy ye be born again
By Spirit and the water
Except ye be born again -
Ye are no son nor daughter.

Except ye be born again
Unto a living hope
Except ye be born again -
Ye will in darkness grope.

Except ye be born again
By hearing of the Word
Except ye be born again -
Ye shall never see the Lord.

Now if ye be born again
By God's power ye are kept
Do you practice righteousness?

Except........

John 3: 3-8
