“Water and Word”
Lyrics written and produced by Peter Noble Mar. 2023
V1

I’m baptised at the font through the water in Word
Born from above by the Spirit,
and know forgiveness by grace through faith is the mercy of God
When you go in the water, you meet Jesus there,
The old Adam dies, no longer ensnared,
you become one with Christ in the water and Word

Pre chorus

Death an the devil and sin are defeated forever, life and salvation, forgiveness are mine forever,

Chorus

Death is defeated, I’m justified from treason, You’ve washed me at the font, sin is transferred.
Christ is resurrected, I have been predestined, to rise again in you through the water and Word

V2

I am buried with you, as you lay in the grave,
watching and waiting and long for the day,
my body will rise up through the water and word,
Christ is alive and he's living in me,
I’m clothed in his righteousness living to be,
not perfect—just forgiven through water and Word

Pre Ch.

Ch.

Bridge

I'm buried with you, as you lay in the grave,
watching and waiting, I'm yours for the taking,
my body will rise up forever with you,
death is to die, in the blink of an eye,
All will be different, be changed in an instant,
Assurance that this is most certainly true.
