Anyone familiar with The Comptons

I'm looking for lyrics to "Second Birth" by the Comptons

CHO
But to the world it made no difference
some even frowned
But the angels they rejoiced
When my name was written down
Unworthy of his mercy
But still he paid the debt
I've had a birth I can't remember
and one I can't forget.


TIA

Hi Lily62004,

Here's what I found:

When I came into this world
I just can't recall
I don't remember anything
about my birth at all
but on my knees one night in prayer
I never will regret
I've had a birth I can't remember
and one I can't forget

To the world it made no difference
some even frowned
but the angels they rejoiced
when my name was written down
Unworthy of His mercy
But still He paid my debt
I've had a birth I can't remember
and one I can't forget

Great song. You can purchase a CD at the artist's Web site here.

God bless!
Steve

"TWO BIRTHS"

VERSE 1.
WHEN I CAME INTO THIS OLE WORLD, I JUST CAN'T RECALL.
I DON'T REMEMBER ANYTHING, ABOUT MY BIRTH AT ALL.
BUT ONE NIGHT DOWN ON MY KNEES IN PRAYER, OH I NEVER WILL REGRET.
I'VE HAD A BIRTH I CAN'T REMEMBER AND ONE I CAN'T FORGET.

VERSE 2.
IT NEVER MADE THE MORNING PAPER, IT DIDN'T MAKE THE EVENING NEWS.
WHEN I PUT OFF THE OLD COAT, AND I PUT ON THE NEW.
MY SINS WERE CAST INTO FORGETFULNESS AS FAR AS EAST IS FROM THE WEST.
I'VE HAD A BIRTH I CAN'T REMEMBER AND ONE I CAN'T FORGET.

CHORUS
BUT TO THE WORLD IT MADE NO DIFFERENCE, SOME EVEN FROWNED.
BUT THE ANGELS REJOICED WHEN MY NAME WAS WRITTEN DOWN.
UNWORTHY OF HIS MERCY, STILL HE PAID MY DEBT.
I'VE HAD A BIRTH I CAN'T REMEMBER AND ONE I CAN'T FORGET.

TAG
UNWORTHY OF HIS MERCY, STILL HE PAID MY DEBT.
I'VE HAD A BIRTH I CAN'T REMEMBER AND ONE I CAN'T FORGET,
I CAN'T FORGET

Beyond Gethsemane

In the distance, the mob approached,
but He kept praying still.
Let this cup pass from me
if it be thy will.
Then He bowed His head in agony,
and softly whispered, "Let it be,"
and I believe that all of Heaven weeped
as Jesus prayed for me.

Chorus:
I closed my eyes again, but still I see
as the moon's scattered beams
reveal Gethsemane.
And the tears in the sand
I believe were for me.
While the world lay fast asleep,
only God alone could see
Calvarry beyond Gethsemane.

I believe the path to Calvary
could be traced by the tears,
while atop the hill they wait
for Jesus to appear.
It broke the heart of God that day
when He had to turn away,
and the sun refused to shine the day
Jesus died for me.

Second Birth

When I came into this world,
I just can't recall.
I don't remember anything
about my birth at all.
But on my knees one night in prayer
I never will regret,
I had a birth I can't remember
and one I can't forget.

To the world it made no difference,
some even frowned;
but the angels rejoiced
when my name was written down.
Unworthy of his mercy,
still He paid my debt.
I had a birth I can't remember,
and one I can't forget.

It never made the papers,
never made the evening news
when I took off the old man,
and I put on the new.
Sin was cast into forgetfulness
as the east was from the west.
I had a birth I can't remember,
and one I can't forget.
