Dying in the Waters – v2

Dying in the waters
into the waters we fall;
Dying to ourselves,
to the world, to our pasts,
rising, the dove may it fall

Ascending from the death
rising from the grave;
Walking with our Savior
only by grace, by God’s mercy,
spreading His message of love

A new life in this age
a servant in this world;
Carrying His message
throughout the world
as we are each called to do

Living as changed creations
with a new life in the Lord;
Traveling the streets of this life
until we walk in the age to come
on the streets paved with gold
