In baptism, love
joy in the joining
dipping of the waters
bathed by our Savior
dying with him
rising from the waters
dipping of the waters
that we would never be thirsty
drinking of the waters
drenched, imbued
filled with the Spirit
that we are brand new

“Do you confess Jesus Christ as your Savior,
put your whole trust in his grace, and promise to serve him as
your Lord, in union with the Church which Christ has opened
to people of all ages, nations, and races?”
