Today my son and I will be baptized

a first for us both in this life

a private ceremony awaits us

my son, myself, the Pastor, and my wife





I'm sure that these words, been spoken before

but for the people that don't believe

I'll say them just once more





If I can be saved, anybody can

for I have broken almost all the rules

of the lords written command





He has come to my rescue

here in to date my darkest hour

he has chosen to give me faith and hope

strength through his power





I never was a Bible thumper

but I always did believe

he gave his only begotten son

as ransom for sins of you and me





It has taken very hard hurt

to bring me to bended knee

taken me to the end of my rope

to understand he's been there for me





Know now that my biggest treasure

My son is on loan from God to me

And like the story of Paul

I now see it all

God's grace has shined on me





So today I'll take my son to the church

we'll go before the Pastor at three

we'll sanctify our faith in Jesus Christ

with his blessing he'll baptize us, my beautiful boy,

and me...
