Baptism

Into Your Spirit immerse me, O Lord,

Washed by Your Blood and Your Holy Word.

Not content with a sprinkling shower,

My soul needs a fuller, deeper Power.

More than Your Holy Spirit in me,

I would submerge myself in Thee.

Then, clothed in newness of life, portray,

Not my righteousness, but Yours, each day.
