I Want to Be

Baptized

Gary Croxall and Kathleen Holyoak Friend, Jul 2005, 45

1. 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.

2. 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.

3. 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
