Show that you'll change how you live! Surely God's new day is rising!" There by the river, the crowd came with great expectation: "Are you God's Chosen One, sent here to rescue our nation?" "No!" John replied. "He who is mightier than I Judges and offers salvation." Jesus, you went to be baptized with all of the others, Taking your place among sinners, God's lost sons and daughters. Then with great love, God's Spirit came as a dove! Your work began in those waters. Here in the Church, we are baptized and filled with God's Spirit. Freed and forgiven, we're welcomed with joy! Can you hear it? This is God's sign! This is how God says, "You're mine!" Let's take the good news and share it! Topics: Baptism; Church Year; Jesus Christ Ministry Used With Tune: LOBE DEN HERREN

A Blood Red Rose Reminds Us Still

Author: Daniel Charles Damon Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: John 1:19-42 Lyrics: 1 A blood red rose reminds us still of one who faced a waiting grave with faith and hope on that green hill, whose love still comes to heal and save. 2 We pray to one who understands the heavy cross that we now bear, for one brief day in Roman hands a thorny crown he had to wear. 3 God grieves with us in every loss, for joys cut short when help comes late, and Jesus, dying on the cross, spoke words of pardon, not of hate. 4 A blood red rose was gently laid in Joseph's new and waiting tomb. This gracious gift in love was made, for love is in eternal bloom. 5 So come and place your flowers here upon the altar in this room, and sweep away the hate and fear till love comes leaping from the tomb.
