Background
The lyrics to the first verse of "Born Again" were written while Third Day's lead singer, Mac Powell, was folding laundry. Powell recalled that "I was doing some chores at home. I was sitting down on the floor folding laundry and I had that song in my head. All of a sudden it just came out--a full first verse literally. It wasn’t like I said a line and worked out a few other lines, it literally just came out. I just spoke it and sang it and it scared me because that never happens".[2] Powell said he then "got up and I was running around the house, throwing stuff everywhere looking for a pen and a piece of paper".[2]
"Born Again" was written by Mac Powell and composed by Third Day.
