Baptism

Wash my sins away, Lord,
that I may be white as snow,
for I am as filthy rags
having many sins, I know.

A new life I do seek.
A new person I shall be.
I know that You, my Savior,
can make me truly free.

My soul has felt this change
to live each day for You.
My old self is no more.
With wickedness I'm through.

In obedience I come
to now be born again.
I want to show the world
that I am free from sin.

I want to walk like You,
to be salt to all I meet;
to spread Your Holy Word
to all that I would greet.

For You gave the command
to steer people toward You;
to go into the world
with a Christ-like point of view.

Lead me and I'll follow.
Use me where You will.
For I will be Your vessel;
Your commandment to fulfill.

So, wash my sins away.
Lord, make me white as snow.
Let me live each day for You
because I love You so.
