Why Wait!

Why wait
Why wait
Uh huuuuh
Why wait
Be baptized
Why wait
Why wait
Uh huuuuh
Why wait
Be baptized

Saul was all on the road
On the Damascus road
Persecuting was a goal
Scripture said it was about noon
Then the light of heaven shone
Saul
Why did you persecute me
Lord
I don't even know who you be
Yeah, the one you are persecuting
I am Jesus the Nazarene
Then he said what should I do
Jesus spoke rise up and go
Into Damascus you'll be told
When you get there what you're supposed to do
Light too bright got blinded
By his hand got guided
Then met Ananias
Devout man stood by him
What he say
What he say
He said
Paul receive your sight
Scales (scale like) fell from his eyes
Spirit filled his life
Why wait be baptized
Scripture tells us why
It washes away your sins
Not just symbolizes
Nice

Why wait
Why wait
Uh huuuuh
Why wait
Be baptized
Why wait
Why wait
Uh huuuuh
Why wait
Be baptized

Take a minute read the scriptures on baptism without your presuppositions
And the washings in the Old Testament like Naaman washed in the Jordan River
Don't forget the Levitical priestly washings and Ezekiel's Vision
You get the picture from the scripture that baptism
Is now the fulfillment (connect that)
Sometimes water drowns
God use it to judge
Sometimes water saves
Think of Noah's flood
They in the boat
The boat was floating
Window opened
Then Noah sent out a dove
The second time the dove came in
In her mouth was an olive freshly plucked
Peter said they were saved through the water
Like Israel was saved through the water
When Moses split the Red Sea
He judged some and made sons and daughters (out of others)
It's by faith, it's not magic
Don't have faith you can access
Forgiveness
If you resist
Then that's it
But if it's
Repentance happening by the Spirit then I'm asking

Why wait
Why wait
Uh huuuuh
Why wait
Be baptized

Why wait
Why wait
Uh huuuuh
Why wait
Be baptized
Why wait
Why wait
Uh huuuuh
Why wait
Be baptized
