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
