Lyrics
-
When Jesus Christ was baptized
Down in the River Jordan,
Three members of the Godhead
Were present there in love.
The Father spoke from heaven
When Jesus Christ was baptized;
The Holy Ghost descended
As gently as a dove.
-
And now when I am baptized,
I’ll follow his example—
Be baptized by immersion
Through sacred priesthood pow’r.
Then I will be a member
Of Heav’nly Father’s kingdom
And have the Holy Spirit
To guide me ev’ry hour.

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.
