I Come to the Water
March 2000


“I Come to the Water,” Friend, Mar. 2000, 46–47

I Come to the Water

I come to the water, in faith to begin

My life in God’s kingdom, to cov’nant with Him.

I’ll keep His commandments, I’ll walk in His way

For I am His child and I want to obey.

I am baptized by immersion for remission of sins.

By faith and repentance I am clean before Him.

I’ll prove to the Father by all that I do

I know that His teachings are true.

And after I’m baptized, a blessing is said

As men of the priesthood place hands on my head.

The gift of the Holy Ghost given to me

Will guide me and prompt me to live righteously.

I am baptized by immersion for remission of sins.

Receiving the Holy Ghost, now I begin

To prove to the Father by all that I do,

I know that His teachings are true.

Dear Father, please help me remember this day;

I promise Thy will to obey.
