Dying
in the waters
into
the waters we fall;
Dying
to ourselves, to the world
to
our past, our sin
rising,
the Spirit, the dove may it fall.
Ascending
from the dead
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,
We
carry Christ’s message
to
the ends of the earth
as
we are each called to do.
Living
as changed creations
with
a new life in our Lord, our Savior;
We
travel the streets of this life
until
we walk in the age to come
on
the streets paved with gold.
