My Baptism Promise

Words and music by Nathan Howe

Lovingly [quarter note] = 108

1. Jesus loved His Heavenly Father
And obeyed Him perfectly,
Joining John in Jordan’s water,
Baptized by authority.
He showed the way; I’ll follow Him
From the water to my heav’nly home again.

2. When I’m baptized by immersion,
I commit to be like Him,
Love and comfort those in need and
Stand for Christ wherever I am.
The Holy Ghost will guide my way
As I try to honor my Savior every day.

3. After I have made this promise,
I’ll continue faithfully
On the path of cov’nant keeping,
Seeking greater light and peace.
Repenting and remembering Him
Through the sacrament, I can feel washed clean again.
