Buried With Jesus

Verse 1

Down into the flowing river, Lo, the Lamb of God we see; There He speaks in clear example: “Take the cross and follow Me.”

Chorus

Gently buried with my Savior, Let me sink beneath the wave; Crucified to earth forever, Hence alone to God I live.

Verse 2

Now the sacred waters cover O’er the holy Son of God; Thus He washed me in that fountain Of His sin-atoning blood.

Verse 3

Crucified with my Redeemer, Now I sink into the grave; I am dead to sin forever, By the life of God I live.

Verse 4

Here I witness a confession, As I merge from human sight In the tomb of yielding water, That the blood has made me white.

Verse 5

Oh, how sweet to follow Jesus In this ordinance, to show That we’re cleansed in life’s pure river, Even whiter than the snow.
