Before you now, our Father, we
Bow bringing You our prayers;
Let now our hearts be pure and clear
And keep our minds and senses free
To hear your voice within.
We enter here with hope, assured
That, by the saving blood
Of Him who has gone on before,
We’ll rise with him to life restored
In that blest home above.
Optional
We gather ‘round this one of yours
To share this moment’s bliss,
And walk with him along his way
As he is buried to his sin,
And rises to new life.
Optional
He makes his witness here, before
The world and all who see,
As he proclaims his trust in you;
That all past ills he’s put aside
Turning his face to thee.
beneath these waters now we plunge
Conforming to your word;
We rise again, to live for you;
Our lives renewed, our hope reborn
‘Neath the refreshing flood.
By your redeeming sacrifice
Our debt is fully paid.
We stand transformed before your throne
And know we’re only here by grace
Interpreted through love.
Now go with us, O Spirit’s power,
Into this world you’ve given;
That we might show your love to all
And lead them to that trust in you
That covers all our sin.
