- Today the angels sang!
- A new birth took place.
- A son was born into God’s family.
- A new citizen entered the kingdom.
- A victory was won in the palace of the mind
- By repentance.
- A decision was made.
- A young heart, Tender, Convicted,
- Turned to Jesus.
- Young lips confessed the precious name of Jesus.
- A diligent soul stepped down into the water.
- The water became a grave.
- A grave from which he arose.
- Arose to walk a new life!
- Dead to sin!
- Alive to righteousness!
- Translated out of darkness
- Into the kingdom of His dear Son.
- Baptized like Jesus!
- Baptized into Jesus!
- Raised with Jesus!
- In likeness of His death!
- In likeness of His resurrection!
- Forgiven! Washed! Sanctified! Justified!
- In the name of the Father
- And of the Son
- And of the Holy Spirit!
- The way ahead is strait and narrow —
- But happy!
- There is a cross to be borne —
- But Jesus will help you bear it.
- There is a burden to be carried —
- But Jesus will carry our load!
- His yoke is easy.
- His burden is light.
- Jesus said so!
- My son, there are many temptations
- In the road you must travel.
- But God said they won’t be too great.
- There is always a way of escape.
- Jesus was tempted.
- He said, "It is written!"
- He didn’t sin!
- My son, let Jesus help you over temptations.
- He knows the way!
- At the end of the road is a mansion —
- A house not made with hands.
- In Heaven — eternal.
- New Christian, by His grace it is yours.
- Today you laid hold on His grace.
- That is why the angels sang!
- (1974)
