My Baptism

By Penny Kotze

My heart is so full I can hardly speak,

I have joy and peace, and tears on my cheek.

I have God as my Father, and the love of His Son.

I surrender all to Him, as the battle is won.

I have gone through the waters, and emerged someone new.

God has given me glasses with a totally different view.

No judgement, no condemnation, only mercy and love,

And this flows through the Son, from my Father above.

Thank you my Saviour who keeps evil at bay,

For all of the memories I have made here today.

AMEN
