I like writing songs for specific celebrations and seasons within the church calendar. In this instance, I wanted to write a song that celebrated water baptism specifically, rather than a song that contained a faint reference to it.
With this in mind, this modern contemporary worship song is ideally suited to be sung at a water baptism – although you could sing it whenever you wanted to 🙂

Never Be The Same (The Baptism Song)
CCLI# 7133022

Turn my back on the past
Leave my old ways behind
Jesus, I will follow You

For You died in my place
And You rose from the grave

Wash me in the waters
Wash my sin away
Cleanse me with Your Spirit

Jesus, I will follow You
Jesus, I believe in You
