The Baptism
Wrapped up in Forgiveness,
He removed all sticks and stones
And met you by the water
To release this overload.
Of sin and pain not virtue
That once cradled your very being,
He dunked you in the water
An adult baptized into seeing.
That life is really worth living
When you reach the other side
To start over in forgiveness
No shame shall ever reside.
