Baptism
Walking towards the 'river'
Christ is about to deliver my 'old nature.'
I remember His context.'
When John 'baptized' Him
I walk into the water, giving thanks to God
For this 'quarter' in my life
My head gets bowed in the water
I thank God that my 'old man' receives
A slaughter, I'm filled with laughter
Because I have a 'new' nature
The old man is left behind
Now I can live because I
Walk behind Christ, who is my Head!
I experience 'death.'
As I hold my breath under the water!
I receive resurrection
Knowing soon I will soon face temptation
But I thank God for my baptism
That brings death so that
Christ can be my life!
