Baptize Them All – v2

The command of Christ
to spread the word
to baptize them all
all peoples, all over the world;
that we all would know You
our Father, Almighty God

Going out into the world
not hiding Christ’s light
sharing the love of God
the gift of salvation;
God’s grace to redeem us
to give us new life,
living in the way of Christ

Dying with Christ
into the waters of death
rising with Him in victory;
new creations in Christ
sharing God’s love
to the ends of the earth
