Now is the moment,
to take the first plunge.
To be lowered down below,
And to rise up again.
"FATHER!" I've risen again!
Baptized in your name.
God, O Heavenly King!
Step into the water,
and take a deep breath.
Kneel down before the Lord,
And accept His eternal gift.
"SON!" I am reborn!
Glory be to your name!
God, O Comforter!
Now is the moment,
to take the final plunge.
To be lowered once more,
and to stand once again.
Kneel into the water,
and take one last bow.
Surrounded by water and light.
The body so cold,
and yet the soul set ablaze.
Rising to the surface,
I emerge a new man.
"And of the HOLY SPIRIT!"
God, who art in all places,
and fill all things!
Now is the moment,
to rise a new man.
To stand before God,
and bow down again.
to take the first plunge.
To be lowered down below,
And to rise up again.
"FATHER!" I've risen again!
Baptized in your name.
God, O Heavenly King!
Step into the water,
and take a deep breath.
Kneel down before the Lord,
And accept His eternal gift.
"SON!" I am reborn!
Glory be to your name!
God, O Comforter!
Now is the moment,
to take the final plunge.
To be lowered once more,
and to stand once again.
Kneel into the water,
and take one last bow.
Surrounded by water and light.
The body so cold,
and yet the soul set ablaze.
Rising to the surface,
I emerge a new man.
"And of the HOLY SPIRIT!"
God, who art in all places,
and fill all things!
Now is the moment,
to rise a new man.
To stand before God,
and bow down again.
