Verse 1
I was drowning in a bottle,
Calling darkness “friend.”
Every road I tried to travel
Met a broken end.
Everything I touched would wither,
Nothing seemed to thrive.
Alcohol became my master,
Barely felt alive.
---
Verse 2
I didn’t know the Word or Scripture,
Didn’t know His voice.
Didn’t know that grace was reaching,
That I still had a choice.
It felt like heaven waited long,
Why did it take so slow?
But mercy works in hidden places
Before the heart can know.
---
Pre-Chorus
Then the anointed ones surrounded me,
With fire in their eyes.
They placed a Bible in my hands,
And showed me how to rise.
---
Chorus
This is the rebirth of Victor Mafisa!
Not the man I used to be!
From chains of drink to living Word,
The Son has set me free!
I had nothing, I had less,
But the Bible was enough.
Now I stand a different man—
Grace has made me tough.
---
Verse 3
Having little didn’t shake me,
As long as I had truth.
Pages turning healed my mind,
The Word restored my youth.
From drunkard to a teacher,
From broken to restored—
Not by power of my own,
But by the Spirit of the Lord.
---
Pre-Chorus 2
Most of my friends are still out there,
Lost in what I knew.
So let my life become the proof
Of what His love can do.
---
Chorus (Stronger)
This is the rebirth of Victor Mafisa!
A testimony loud!
From shame and loss to sonship’s cross,
Now walking unashamed and proud.
Not proud in self, but proud in grace,
Of what the blood has done.
The old is buried in the grave—
Behold, the new has come!
---
Bridge (Personal Declaration)
I am not my past addiction.
I am not my former name.
I am not the man of bottles,
I am not defined by shame.
I am chosen.
I am called.
I am taught by holy fire.
I am built by revelation.
I am rising higher.
---
Break (Soft, reflective)
If He could change a drunkard,
He can change a nation.
If He could rebuild my life,
He can break addiction.
---
Final Chorus (Victory Cry)
This is the rebirth of Victor Mafisa!
Let the heavens testify!
What mercy starts, it finishes—
And grace will multiply!
From nothing to contentment,
From emptiness to Word—
I was reborn by Jesus Christ,
And creation heard.
