Mark Them

(álbum: Word And Water - 2022)

Ooo yea, marks them with the Triune name
Forgives them of sin then makes them clean
Ooo yea
Get the Spirit and the gift of faith at once
Ooo yea
Bring them babies to the font
Ooo yea
Mark them with the Triune name
Ooo yea
Baptism saves
Come get them clean
Ooo yea
Get the Spirit and the gift of faith at once
Ooo yea
Bring them babies to the font

I know that you think it's impossible you see an obstacle
How can an infant perceive
How can a baby be making professions of faith
When they can't repent and believe (cause faith is a gift)
Assuming we value the Bible (it's God's work)
Jesus said go make disciples (not our work)
By baptizing all the nations (He baptizes)
That means no discrimination (all ages)
What he didn't say is you had to be from a certain place to get the benefit
What he didn't say is you had to be of a certain age to get the benefit
What he did do rebuke the disciples from keeping the children away from him
Matter of fact he said become like the children if you want to enter (the kingdom of God)
Speaking of faith
Babies can definitely have faith
Man it's all over the Psalms
Psalm 22
Psalm 71
Trusted in God while he's nursing on moms
This for the skeptics who still need to sign
Hit the New Testament go look at John
Mary visited Elizabeth
He was filled with the Spirit
Even before he was born

Ooo yea, marks them with the Triune name
Forgives them of sin then makes them clean
Ooo yea
Get the Spirit and the gift of faith at once
Ooo yea
Bring them babies to the font
Ooo yea
Mark them with the Triune name
Ooo yea
Baptism saves
Come get them clean
Ooo yea
Get the Spirit and the gift of faith at once
Ooo yea
Bring them babies to the font

Speaking of infants in the Old Testament
Yes they were a part of the family of God
To be an Israelite go get a knife
The sons getting circumcised
Through it they entered the family of faith
See the connection the Apostle made
Colossians two eleven twelve
It's baptism that is literally delivering grace (it's more inclusive)
Ok let me set the precedent (it's reasonable)
Take a look at the New Testament (to think that is true)
Let us begin with the book of Acts
And the household passages in a text
Peter was preaching a sermon at Pentecost
People start feeling the weight of the law
About the murder of Jesus they caused
When they heard it they were cut to the heart
Then they said what should we do
Repent and be baptized for the forgiveness of sins
Receive the gift of the spirit this promise for you
And is for all of your kids
Think about Lydia, think of Cornelius
Stephanas and the Philippian jailer
All of them baptized even their households
Including babies receive a savior

Ooo yea, marks them with the Triune name
Forgives them of sin then makes them clean
Ooo yea
Get the Spirit and the gift of faith at once
Ooo yea
Bring them babies to the font
Ooo yea
Mark them with the Triune name
Ooo yea
Baptism saves
Come get them clean
Ooo yea
Get the Spirit and the gift of faith at once
Ooo yea
Bring them babies to the font
