In the Waters of Baptism

Death, with Christ on the cross
in the waters of baptism
we die with him
freed from our past
rising with him in victory
free to walk as he did
in humble submission to God

Our choice, as his in Gethsemane
to follow the master’s plan
or the path of the flesh
able like him, with the Spirit’s guiding
to walk more humbly with God
in loving relationship
with our neighbors and
with our God and king
