Baptized in water for our Lord

Baptized in water for our Lord,
we follow and obey his word.
In him we die, in him we rise
to reign with him beyond the skies.

2. Baptized into the triune name,
the Father’s promises we claim;
forgiveness through Christ’s blood alone
and access to the heavenly throne.

3. Baptized in Christ and with him one,
a transformed life is here begun;
now dead to sins we used to love,
our minds are set on things above.

4. Baptized, filled with the Spirit’s power;
his presence with us hour by hour;
to demonstrate through our new birth
God’s living presence on this earth.

5. Baptized to show what God has done
by saving sinners through his Son;
in him we die, in him we rise
to reign with him beyond the skies.
