I just want to thank the Lord <br />For your step of faith. <br />In coming to Him to be baptized <br />And to go forth in His grace. <br />Your love for Jesus Christ <br />Shines through in all you do, <br />For there are many that will see <br />The hope of Christ in you. <br /> <br />It takes a lot of courage <br />To be baptized in His name. <br />To die to the old self, <br />And be forever changed. <br />May God bless your life <br />For stepping out for Him, <br />Proclaiming unto others <br />The faith you have within. <br /> <br />I thank the Lord for you <br />For bringing you to this place. <br />I pray you'd have a real sense <br />Of God's hand upon your life. <br />As you go through the baptismal waters <br />And follow after Christ. <br />I pray that you may go from here <br />Changed and made brand-new. <br />Walking hand in hand with God <br />Into all He's called you to.<br /><br />April Swanson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/proclaiming-faith/
