Lyrics
-
I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
-
[Chorus]
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
-
I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.

IDEAS TO PRESENT THIS SONG:
1. Talk to children how baptism is a big deal. It is one ordinance that is necessary for us to receive to enter into Heavenly Father’s kingdom.
2. Talk about baptisms for the dead, an ordinance that is performed in God’s temples and how those who have died without being baptized can receive this special ordinance. And if they accept the gospel as we to must and obey God’s commandments they too can enter into God’s kingdom.
