Baptism Prayer and Blessings

A Baptismal Prayer

Heavenly Father,

In your love you have called us to know you,
led us to trust you,
and bound our life with yours.

Surround this child with your love,
protect it from evil.

Fill it with the holy spirit and
receive it into the family of your church,
that it may walk with us in the way of Christ,
and grow in the knowledge of your love.

A Baptismal Prayer

You’re taking this step of faithIn obedience to the LordTo be baptized in His precious nameAnd heed the Master’s call

To rise up with faith in GodAnd go where He may leadTo share God’s love to everyoneAnd touch them in their need

May God pour out His blessingsUpon your life todaySo you may walk in His abundanceAs you commit to Him your way

Keep on trusting in the LordNo matter what you faceAnd keep your eyes on Jesus ChristAnd live in His sweet grace.

By M.S.Lowndes

I baptize you with water for repentance, but he who is coming after me is mightier than I, whose sandals I am not worthy to carry. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.

Matthew 3:11

When a woman is giving birth, she has sorrow because her hour has come, but when she has delivered the baby, she no longer remembers the anguish, for joy that a human being has been born into the world.

John 16:21
