It’s In Your DNA

You are who you are

That’s what you have become,

You can’t change who you are

You are your father’s son.

No matter how hard you try

You can’t change your mother,

Your roots are your roots

However much you bother!

Your sister and your brother

That is if you have one

Will always be the family

Into which you were born.

Biological family is immutable

It’s in your DNA!

The family you were born into

That’s your family to stay.

So it is with the spiritual

At the time one is born again,

In John chapter 3 and verse 6

Jesus makes this very plain.

Plain it is my brother, my sister

But yet still confusing

To those that try to unpack it,

It is utterly bemusing.

There’s a DNA in the Spirit,

The Holy Spirit I mean

That transforms the born again

From what he has been.

Dead in trespasses and sins

The result of our fore parent’s sin

But obtaining the DNA of Christ

When the Holy Spirit comes in.

Some try to explain it

But it warrants no explanation,

Just by faith in God’s grace

Accept His proffered salvation.

  

His DNA will be yours

He will never ever disown you,

For he ever sticks to His word

And all His promises are true.

One cannot undo his birth

Neither can he undo his rebirth:

The latter was done in heaven

The former is of the earth.

It’s in your DNA I repeat

If indeed you’ve been born again,

The Holy Trinity is within you

You can boldly make that claim!
