Wrote this in June 1993. My friend Alan Hesse did the backing...and I had forgotten about it until now! Glad I found it in my treasure trove!

The Baptism Song
?By Stan Loh June 11, 1993

Here's a child, We give to You for Your blessing,
Precious child, To be loved in Your arms.
Take her (him) in to be one of Your own,
Give her (him) all the good qualities of life,

CHORUS #1
Keep the Light in her (his) heart brightly burning,
Keep Your greats in her (his) soul, keep them churning.
As You take her (him) in Your house, give her (him) talents,
To be used for the right, and not for wrong.

FOR FEMALE CANDIDATES
Presenting (NAME: ................................),
Bless her with grace and patience,
Precious child, To be loved in Your arms.
Take her (him) in to be one of Your own, Lord.
Give her (him) all the good qualities, my Lord. (Go to Refrain #1)

CHORUS #2
Remember Jesus when you raise this tender loved one,
Remember promises you made to the Lord,
Guide this dear one with great care and affection,
Keep her (his) Light shining bright for our Lord. (Repeat Refrain #1)
