| Into Water and Saved From Fire Baptized by water, Saved from fire. A new person Given power to inspire. And God says, �I am pleased.� The preacher speaks And I go under, And coming up I hear a voice like thunder: I am pleased. And my friend, Who has gone the unrighteous path, Looks to me for comfort. And I say �He bears no wrath.� He is pleased. And one day, when my time has come, I will walk slowly, surely into the light, And they will see me, saved by blood, Standing before the gates so bright. And God will say �I am very pleased.� |
