The hymn on baptism was written by Joe Terrell in May of 2000 for the baptismal service of one of the young men in his congregation.
We in the watery grave confess,
The work of our dear Lord;
And thus make known our faith in Him,
According to His word.
As underneath the ground Christ lay,
A victim of our sins;
We sink beneath this symbol-grave,
To show we were in Him.
He rose triumphant over sin,
And we raised with Him too;
Up from the water we begin,
To live a life that's new.
What now we see in watery type,
Was first worked in our hearts;
Thus in His death and risen life,
With Christ we share a part.
