Baptism is

Baptism is my final going under

and God raising me to new life

Baptism is feeling the blood of Jesus

touching me and making me clean

Baptism is the Holy Spirit washing

over me and through me to live

Baptism breaks the chains on me

setting me free to love and to serve

Baptism lifts me above pain and pride

and allows me to walk at God’s side

Baptism opens my life for God’s use

and His anointing empowers me

Baptism enables me to change the world

for God has been set free within me

Baptism flows from me to others

as God draws them through me

Baptism is God’s cleansing life

washing out the darkness and fear

Baptism is how I say to the world

I belong to You and long for You My Love!
