We Are Baptized for This Moment
We are baptized for this moment,
Born for such a time as this;
Raised from death to life eternal,
New life now and future bliss.
Not long past or far away,
We are baptized for this day!
We are baptized and forgiven,
Sinners cleansed by Christ our Lord;
Called by God, the Spirit given,
In the water and the Word.
What has brought us to this place?
We are baptized by God’s grace!
We are baptized for a witness,
Telling all what God can do;
Speaking out the Gospel promise,
“Jesus is your Savior, too.”
Hearts believe and mouths confess;
We are baptized, God will bless!
We are baptized to show mercy,
Children share the Father’s heart;
When we see a world that’s hurting,
Love will act and do its part.
Christ’s compassion cares for all;
We are baptized, hear the call!
We are baptized in Christ’s body,
Life together as the church;
Brothers, sisters, in God’s fam’ly,
We all share a common birth.
Varied gifts, one faith the same;
We are baptized, praise His name!
