Baptism

More than just a wetting,
Baptism is rebirth.
It's symbolic of one dying
and being buried in the earth.

Coming forth in cleanliness,
we are innocent before Him.
A more perfect life's beginning.
We are washed and cleansed from sin.

We have a new life beginning
as Christ did, on resurrection morn.
Our life's in Him. Our faith's in Him,
for we have been reborn.
