"Baptism Prayer"
By Dana A Demambro
Today I give my child to you
My heart is full, my words are few
In your name my child is Christened
Sacred prayers spoken as I listened
My child loved and held so dear
Sweet Lord, I place him in your care
This precious day, my child anointed
In your house, precious church of God
I give my child to you, my Lord
Now she is safe, will always be
She'll have your love for all to see
Praises, Lord, I sing to you
With this child, my faith renewed
Rejoice, rejoice this Christening day
I kneel with thankful heart and pray.
