NEW CREATURE FEATURES

Out of the grave of baptism,

Comes a great baptismal feature;

A gift from God will await you,

When you emerge a brand new creature.

His gift is the Holy Spirit,

Who is God in a another form.

He will abide inside you,

To help you know right from wrong.

Christ paid the price, now you’re ransomed,

From bondage to sin and its pain;

Peace that passes understanding,

Is another feature you gain.

Since you were created anew,

In heaven you have a new name.

Your re-birth has brought you new life;

Praise God, you are not the same.

Your new heart will sing a new song;

New thoughts will fill your mind.

A new love for life, a new attitude,

New hope in the Lord you will find.

These gifts are available to everyone,

Baptized to become a new creature,

Whose life is truly transformed by God;

Praise God for His new creature features.
