Baptism
Down, down, down heavy with shadow
Sins carried, sins remembered
Sins released, sins forgiven
Risen pure, washed in blood
Jesus’ blood, blood of the lamb
Immersed in the darkness and the
Emptiness of ignorance
I will reach out my hand and
Just as He died and rose
He will save me, lead me out
On the cross weighted with our sins
Dead to the world, and risen
To take his preordained place
In the halls of the place
Of His Father, our Father
I am baptised!
Cleansed, shriven, pure
Anointed! Saved! Praise The Lord!
The very fabric of the
Heavens and all the earth
Resound with celebration!
I have stepped through the cross into
A verdant world of blessing
Life is more now.
Life is shared
A straight, narrow path I walk
For glory of The Father
I am a child of God!
