From the recording Rise Up! (Soundtracks)
Lyrics
Take Me Down To The Water
Let me step into the water with the boldness of such faith
Let this be my testimony of God’s Mercy and His Grace
Show the world and those around me of Christ’s overwhelming love
Going down as a dead man, raised to life coming up
Take me down to the water where I can be baptized
Let the old man go under, let the new man arise
Fill me with thy Holy Spirit, Be my Comforter and guide
Take me down to the water where I can be baptized
Oh, what peace of mind I’m given, Oh, what joy that floods my soul
I can rest in this assurance He will never let me go
Free from every sin committed, covered by His precious blood
I’m going down as a dead man, raised to life I’m coming up!
