Extreme Baptism
Extreme Baptism
By Mark D. Stucky
What water volume optimizes baptism?
Sprinkling, pouring, or total immersion?
Will more water cleanse my crimes better?
Will all my many sins wash away?
I might need a better method
for my obstinate stuck-on sins.
To remove all those stubborn stains,
Jesus, please pressure-wash my soul.
