20903. THE WATERS OF BAPTISM
Lyrics & Stanzas
3 portions
Verse 1
Plunged into death's cold, dark waters Was our Savior, Jesus Christ. With strong love, not dimmed or wav'ring, On the cross He gave His life. He arose up from the sealed tomb, Breaking all death's pow'rful chains, And triumphant and victorious, Rose to heaven, there to reign.
Verse 2
In the clear baptism waters, There have I confessed my faith; By repenting and obeying, All my sins are now erased. Thru the waters of forgiveness, Now redeemed, I follow Christ. From this day, I'll gladly serve Him, Dead to self and worldly vice.
Verse 3
Since I'm baptized into His death, How can I delight in sin? Now that I've been resurrected, I seek holiness within. Thru the waters, flowing freely, Peace and pardon now are mine. May I ever be devoted, Bearing fruit from the Divine.
