...Repent and be baptized every one of you
in the name of Jesus Christ
for the forgiveness of your sins,
and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.
(Acts 2:38)

Words

1. Plunged into death's cold, dark waters
Was our Savior, Jesus Christ,
With strong love, not dimmed or wav'ring,
While he suffered on the cross.
He arose up from the sealed tomb,
Breaking all death's pow'rful chains,
And triumphant and victorious,
Rose to Heaven, there to reign!

2. In the clear baptism waters,
There have I confessed my faith;
By repenting and obeying,
In His love I now rejoice.
Through the waters of forgiveness,
Now redeemed, I follow Christ.
From now on, my life is all his,
Dead to sin and worldly strife.

3. Since I'm baptized into his death,
How can I want to sin more?
Now that I've been resurrected,
Holiness is my desire.
Through the waters, flowing freely,
Peace and pardon now are mine.
Now I long to be devoted,
Bearing fruits from the Divine.
