Dying in the Waters – v3

Dying in the waters
into the waters we fall,
Dying to ourselves, the world
to our past, our sin
rising, the Spirit, the dove may it fall.

Ascending from the death
rising from the grave
to walk with our Savior;
Only by grace, through God’s mercy,
do we spread His message of love.

A new life in this age,
a servant in this world,
carrying Christ’s message
to the ends of the earth
as we are called to do.

Living as changed creations
with new life in our Lord
traveling the streets of this life
until we walk in the age to come
on the streets paved with gold.
