Up From the Water
Now i've come up from the water,
to follow my father,
where he'll lead me I don't know?
But I know if I stay beside him,
I'll stay away from all sin,
I'll follow wherever he goes.
The path he takes me today,
I shall not stray,
for I know right from wrong.
I'll honor him before my friends,
until the end,
whether my life is short or long.
If you'd like to repent your sins,
and never do them again,
then follow me down to the water.
There you shall be reborn,
in the sight of our Lord,
and then together we'll follow our father.
