I don’t want to look around
And be turned to stone
All my darkest days awoken
I’m looking for a new way
Lead me to a place wide openI need a love that takes me higher
So high I’m never coming downI don’t want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your loveEverybody’s going down
They end up all alone
Far too many words unspoken
I know I gotta be there, I’m ready to be shown
The path of righteousness unbrokenI need a love that takes me higher
So high I’m never coming downI don’t want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your loveI would be a fool to let you go
With you I’m reborn
I’m no longer torn
Yeah
I refuse to lose my heart and soul
I have to be strongI don’t want to know emptiness
Take me down to the water
Wanna be baptized in your love
Far away from the loneliness
Take my heart and wash away the fear
Let me be baptized in your love
Not your usual CCM.
I'm not sure what Lenny had in mind, but it made me think about being immersed into the love of Christ. I know there are many aspects of baptism, but certainly not least important is beginning our new and completely different life with him. The more I look at the teachings of Jesus, the more it appears the emphasis is on relationships rather than principles. O how we are blessed in this new covenant.
