When I heard you call me I could not say no And the joy that you've given I can't help but show And I feel it grow stronger each time I obey To fulfill to your commandment, I stand here today My brothers and my sisters are here by my side As I show all who watch me that old things have died I'm buried with Jesus like a seed that's been sown And I'm raised up with him to his heavenly throne Let the waters roll over my sin and desire Baptise me in Spirit, baptise me in fire In the name of the Father, the Spirit, the Son My old life has ended, the new has begun So baptise me now, 'cause I'm ready to die And I'm ready to live for my master on high
'Til spirit and soul from this body divide Or until he returns like a thief for his bride Let the waters roll over my sin and desire Baptise me in Spirit, baptise me in fire In the name of the Father, the Spirit, the Son My old life has ended, the new has begun So baptise me now, 'cause I'm ready to die And I'm ready to live for my master on high 'Til spirit and soul from this body divide Or until he returns like a thief for his bride Let the waters roll over my sin and desire Baptise me in Spirit, baptise me in fire In the name of the Father, the Spirit, the Son My old life has ended: the new has begun My old life has ended: the new has begun
