1. You have been a very good child who we hav been proud to know.
We have tried to teach you God's plan and show you the right way to go.
You've made good choices and felt the Spirit and grown as a child should grow.
2. Today you leave the child behind; as one fully grown you choose
To take the name of Jesus Christ, and walk in the path of His shoes,
To join His church and to teach the world to do what He wants us to do.
Chorus You choose to comfort when others hurt, to mourn when others mourn,
To bear their burdens that you may be of water and Spirit reborn.
3. We take your name and remember you, to nourish and to inspire,
To keep you watchful unto prayer, to feel the Spirit's fire,
That you may take the sacrament in a way that will lift you higher.
Chorus You choose to comfort when others hurt, to mourn when others mourn,
To bear their burdens that you may be of water and Spirit reborn.
