Description
"Now I'm gonna go down there, to fulfill the promise I feel inside / To say goodbye to my old life, and into that Water stride."
"Into the Water Stride" is an original song that celebrates the profound step of Christian baptism—a public declaration that follows the private miracle of salvation.
The track beautifully connects the story of Jesus's baptism by John the Baptist (as shown in the video's opening clip) with the personal covenant made by believers today. The lyrics affirm that the water is a witness to the victory already won by Christ, and the act of baptism is a command we follow:
(Chorus) I'm going down to the river, where the water runs so deep It's a promise that my soul made, a covenant I will keep Not the dunkin’ that can save me, but the following of the Son Buried in the water, rising to declare His work is done.
This moving lyric video features powerful moments of faith, including people answering the altar call, believers being baptized, and especially the baptisms of the songwriter's son and daughter-in-law.
Watch and be encouraged by this beautiful display of commitment to the Lord!
