Baptism Songs

We don’t have a projector or screen when we’re doing baptisms, so this is our attempt at providing lyrics the best way we can think of! We’ll sing any one of these songs below. We’d like to ask you to put your phone on “do not disturb” while we’re singing, so these little rectangles of distraction don’t hinder our worship-time together. Thanks for being with us!

  • God, I'm on my knees again
    God, I'm begging please again
    I need You
    Oh, I need You

    Walking down these desert roads
    Water for my thirsty soul
    I need You
    Oh, I need You

    Your forgiveness
    Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
    Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
    Like holy water on my skin, hey

    Dead man walking, slave to sin
    I wanna know about being born again
    I need You
    Oh, God, I need You

    So, take me to the riverside
    Take me under, baptize
    I need You
    Oh God, I need You, oh

    Your forgiveness
    Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
    Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
    Like holy water on my skin
    (On my skin)

    I don't wanna abuse Your grace
    God, I need it every day
    It's the only thing that ever really makes me wanna change
    I don't wanna abuse Your grace
    God, I need it every day
    It's the only thing that ever really makes me wanna change

    I don't wanna abuse Your grace
    God, I need it every day
    It's the only thing that ever really makes me wanna change, oh
    I don't wanna abuse Your grace
    God, I need it every day
    It's the only thing that ever really makes me wanna change

    Your forgiveness
    Is like sweet, sweet honey on my lips
    Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
    It's like holy water

    Your forgiveness
    Oh, it's like sweet, sweet honey on my lips (ooh)
    Like the sound of a symphony to my ears
    Oh, it's like holy water on my skin
    Yeah, it's like holy water on my skin
    Oh, it's like holy water

  • Wandering into the night
    Wanting a place to hide
    This weary soul, this bag of bones
    And I tried with all my mind
    And I just can't win the fight
    I'm slowly drifting, oh vagabond
    And just when I ran out of road
    I met a man I didn't know
    And he told me
    That I was not alone

    He picked me up
    He turned me around
    He placed my feet on solid ground
    I thank the Master
    I thank the Savior
    Because He healed my heart
    He changed my name
    Forever free, I'm not the same
    I thank the Master
    I thank the Savior
    I thank God

    I cannot deny what I see
    Got no choice but to believe
    My doubts are burning
    Like ashes in the wind
    So, so long to my old friends
    Burden and bitter night

    You can't just keep them moving
    No, you ain't welcome here
    From now 'til I walk
    The streets of gold
    I'll sing of how You saved my soul
    This wayward son
    Has found his way back home

    He picked me up
    Turned me around
    Placed my feet on solid ground
    I thank the Master
    I thank the Savior
    Because He healed my heart
    Changed my name
    Forever free, I'm not the same
    I thank the Master
    I thank the Savior
    Oh, I thank God

    Oh, I thank God
    Oh, I thank God
    Oh, I thank God

    Hell lost another one
    I am free, I am free, I am free
    Hell lost another one
    I am free, I am free, I am free
    Hell lost another one
    I am free, I am free, yes I am free
    Hell lost another one
    I am free, I am free, I am free

    Heaven won another one
    I am free, I am free, I am free
    Heaven won another one
    I am free, I am free, I am free
    Heaven won another one
    I am free, I am free, I am free
    Heaven won another one
    I am free, I am free, I am free

    He picked me up
    He turned me around
    He placed my feet on solid ground
    I thank the Master
    I thank the Savior
    Because He healed my heart
    He changed my name
    Forever free, I'm not the same
    I thank the Master
    I thank the Savior
    I thank God

  • Come set Your rule and reign
    In our hearts again
    Increase in us we pray
    Unveil why we're made
    Come set our hearts ablaze with hope
    Like wildfire in our very souls
    Holy Spirit, come invade us now
    We are Your Church
    And we need Your power
    In us

    We seek Your kingdom first
    We hunger and we thirst
    Refuse to waste our lives
    For You're our joy and prize
    To see the captive hearts released
    The hurt, the sick, the poor at peace
    We lay down our lives for Heaven's cause
    We are Your church
    And we pray revive
    This earth

    Build Your kingdom here
    Let the darkness fear
    Show Your mighty hand
    Heal our streets and land
    Set Your church on fire
    Win Your people back
    Change the atmosphere
    Build Your kingdom here
    We pray

    Unleash Your kingdom's power
    Reaching the near and far
    No force of hell can stop
    Your beauty changing hearts
    You made us for much more than this
    Awake the kingdom seed in us
    Fill us with the strength and love of Christ
    We are Your church
    Oh, and we are the hope
    On earth

    Build Your kingdom here
    Let the darkness fear
    Show Your mighty hand
    Heal our streets and land
    Set Your church on fire
    Win Your people back
    Change the atmosphere
    Build Your kingdom here
    We pray

    Build Your kingdom here
    Let the darkness fear
    Show Your mighty hand
    Heal our streets and land
    Set Your church on fire
    Win Your people back
    Change the atmosphere
    Build Your kingdom here
    Oh, we pray (let's win this nation back)
