My Baptism

I wanted to get baptized, 
   To show my love for Jesus,
To tell that I had realized ;
   That Christ through death redeemed us.

To give my testimony,
   I stood before the church,
I felt God's love suround me,
   His shoulders were my perch.

Dad wrapped his arms around me,
   Encouraged me to go,
Though trembling in body;
   My heart was all aglow.

We went down to the water,
   And waded in a ways,
I was baptized then and there,
   May Christ get all the praise!

I wrote this poem (as you might have already guessed) after I was baptized.

    1. Yeah. I never really have liked being up in front of a large group of people.
