3 Were Baptized Today Poem by Randy McClave

Let's bow our heads and pray
3 people were baptized today,
Unto the Lord's own accord
They now have all risen with the Lord.
I was there and I witnessed it all
When upon them the spirit did call,
As they seemingly sought absolution
It was like a spiritual revolution.
Gabriel was baptized first
Then into the baptism water Sarah asked to be submersed,
And then we were all surprised
When Bambi asked to be baptized.
The old self was crucified with Christ
Now, they were all born twice,
They made a public confession of their belief
They changed like a leaf.
When they entered the waters of baptism
They faithfully followed Jesus as a true Christian,
They are proclaiming the gospel message
And they believe in their own presage.
Jesus had died for their every sin
Then he was buried, and then arose and he lives again,
Being raised out of the water expresses their new life
They're a new son, daughter and wife.
With the lord they now have a union with him
As the congregation cheered and sang a hymn,
And this again I will boast and say
3 were baptized today.
