“We were therefore buried with Him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life.” Romans 6:4 (NIV)<\/p>\n
The original idea for this song about the power and significance of baptism had been sitting on my laptop for a while, unfinished. The catalyst for completing the idea came when Pastor Brian shared that he had it on his heart to have a special baptism service at church.<\/p>\n
At our church we have the baptismal pool at the front of the auditorium and people are baptised as the congregation witness their declaration and worship with them. We set about finishing “Beneath the Waters (I Will Rise)” for this service so that people would have a declaration to sing as they rose from the waters of baptism.<\/p>\n
In its essence, this song is about rising to the new life Romans 6:4 speaks of as well as acknowledging the submission to Christ’s Lordship that baptism represents. In a broader sense, however, it has become a powerful confession of faith and salvation that has found a place across the life of our church, not just in a baptism setting.<\/p>\n

Verse 1
\nThis is my revelation
\nChrist Jesus crucified
\nSalvation through repentance
\nAt the cross on which He died <\/p>\n
Verse 2
\nNow here my absolution
\nForgiveness for my sin
\nAnd I sink beneath the waters
\nThat Christ was buried in<\/p>\n
Chorus
\nI will rise
\nI will rise
\nAs Christ was raised to life
\nNow in Him
\nNow in Him I live<\/p>\n
Verse 3
\nI stand a new creation
\nBaptised in blood and fire
\nNo fear of condemnation
\nBy faith I’m justified<\/p>\n
Bridge
\nI rise as You are risen
\nDeclare Your rule and reign
\nMy life confess Your Lordship
\nAnd glorify Your Name<\/p>\n
Your word it stands eternal
\nYour kingdom knows no end
\nYour praise goes on forever
\nAnd on and on again<\/p>\n
No power can stand against You
\nNo curse assault Your throne
\nNo one can steal Your glory
\nFor it is Yours alone<\/p>\n
I stand to sing Your praises
\nI stand to testify
\nFor I was dead in my sin
\nBut now I rise<\/p>\n
