I am working on a sermon this morning and I was reminded of this song and how God used it to touch my life. I looked it up and began listening to it and I couldnt help but sit and sob. Why? Because before I would read scripture or listen to it God was still willing to speak to me. For a long time this song held a special place in my heart. It was the beginning lyrics that had me captivated. He was born in the summer of his 27th year Comin home to a place hed never been before He left yesterday behind him, you might say he was born again You might say he found a key for every door. You see, at the time, I was not yet 27. And I was not happy with my life. But I loved the thought that something miraculous could happen and that in the summer of my 27th year I could finally find home. I did not know what that look like. But when I heard this song I got a strange feeling in me that something life-changing still laid ahead. And then, without me realizing the timing of it, after watching my great grandmother being laid to rest in the summer of my 27th year, I decided to slip into the back row of a nearby church. Over the next year of my life God brought me home to a place Ive never been before. You might say I was born again you might say I found the keys to the kingdom. I just love how God does not wait for us to come to him. But he is here to seek and save the lost. He is actively pursuing a relationship with us before we ever care about him. No matter what lays behind you, always know that the you have the potential, at any moment, to come home, even if you have never been there before. God has not given up on you. He is not through with you. Place your hand over your heart. Do you feel that? That means God is still longing for a deeper relationship with you. You can be born - become a new creation, begin a new life, start over, forget your past - even if you are grown. Even if you are 27, 37, 87, God still loves you and desires to call you his child. Here is the song.
