I Want to Be Baptized

The Friend

I want to be baptized

in clothes pure and white,

To follow the Savior,

to do what is right.

I’ll covenant with Him

to always be true,

For this is the thing

that He wants me to do.

I want to be baptized

when I have turned eight,

To enter Christ’s kingdom

through baptism’s gate.

I’ll take His name gladly,

be known as His child,

And strive to be worthy,

more Christlike and mild.

I want to be baptized

by God’s priesthood pow’r,

Be given His Spirit,

be cleansed as by fire.

The Spirit will guide me

if I will obey

And help me return

to my Father one day.
