Baptism

Inwardly changed,
Completely rearranged.
God welcomed in,
Dealt with my sin.
Renewed my heart;
A clean, fresh start.
Going down, sin washed away
Coming up, new life God’s way.
With this outward sign (baptism)
I draw the line 
On a chequered past…
Now forward fast!
God and me
Making history.
I now declare
My love affair
With a God who’s turned my life around,
And set my feet on solid ground.
A world once seen in black and white
Now in colour – vivid, bright!
Life with God challenges me
To be the best that I can be.
No longer doing life alone,
I know now I am going home.
Today I say most publicly
The future is – God with me.
