I had been a Christian for a long time when I one day "took a gamble" on trusting Jesus completely in all things, and found Him to be completely trustworthy. A mind-blowing, awesome experience followed, almost like being born again... again!

This was the first song I wrote after the Spirit of God SURPRISED ME WITH JOY...He lifted my feet right off the ground and put a fire in my heart!

I'm gambling everything on You, Lord,
Flyin' blind through stormy skies
I won't go back, I've burned the bridge
and I'm runnin' toward the prize!
I thought I knew the answers, and I guess that I still
do...but now I know the Answers have all boiled down to
YOU!

...and I
(Chorus:) Feel I've been born again! and I'm no more of
this world!
It may sound crazy but I've finally found that precious
pearl!

Maybe I've been tryin' too hard to cling to things I'd feel,
when all the time, Your love, Lord, is the only thing that's real!
So I won't look back, the past is gone, Your blood has covered all!
I'm living in reality, just waiting for Your call! and I....(Chorus)

There You were upon the cross, with nothin' 'tween You and me,
but Your sweet Holy Spirit, for all eternity!
So I'm setting sail now, Lord, and You're my shining star!
I'll follow You forever, 'cause I wanna be where You are!

and I... (Chorus)

Let me tell you one thing, friend, and of this one thing I'm sure:
whatever clouds surround you now are bound to
disappear!
Just keep your eyes on Jesus and obey His Holy Word;
leave your old self behind you; you'll be free as a bird!

and you'll feel you've been born again, and you're no more
of this world; it may sound crazy but you've finally found
that precious pearl! And I(Chorus)
