I've Been Baptized

Intro

(ooh) Oh—oh—oh, yeah

I've been washed, I've been found, I've been lifted up (hallelujah)

I've been baptized, I've been baptized, I've been baptized

Verse

Came from the water, came from the weak and the worn, yeah (uh)

Laid down my chains, walked out of the night into morn, yeah

Repentant on my knees, gave the old me away

Said "Jesus, take it all," then I heard mercy say, "stay"

Name in the book and the water on my skin (on my skin)

Buried with Him, He raised me up, new life begin (new life begin)

No more guilt, no more shame, just a shout and a flame

Walking in a promise that I'll never be the same

Spirit like a river — flow, flow, overflow (flow)

Peace on my shoulders where the storms used to blow (peace)

Now I'm testifying, loud in the streets (loud)

Praise in the subway, hallelujah in the heat (hallelujah)

Chains fell off when He called my name (amen)

Every scar turned to a story of grace in His name (in His name)

I was blind, now I see — His light in me

Redeemed by the river, set free to be free (set free)

(yeah) I walk in the lane of the promise, no fear

(uh) My steps baptized in truth, the path is clear

(amen) I give Him my all, He gives me His song

(yeah) I've been baptized — I belong

Pre-chorus

Lift my hands, lift my voice (lift, lift)

I'm alive, I rejoice, I rejoice (I rejoice)

Spirit like fire, Spirit like rain (Spirit fall)

You called my name, You called my name (hallelujah)

Chorus

I've been baptized, I've been baptized (hallelujah)

I've been baptized, I've been baptized (oh-oh, oh)

In the name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus (amen)

I've been baptized, I've been baptized

I've been baptized, I've been baptized (yeah, yeah)

Wash me, wash me, wash me in Your love (wash me)

I've been baptized, I've been baptized (hallelujah)

Verse

Now the Spirit moves — yeah, He moves where I go (go)

Gives me boldness at the door, gives me bread for the road (road)

I speak life into the valley, I speak hope into the cave

Carry light to the corner where they told me I was brave

Sins confessed, sins gone, chain reaction of praise (praise)

Miracles in the making, new rhythms to the days (new days)

I'm pressing toward the mark, not looking back at the lie

Armor on, sword drawn, Jesus in my sky (skrrt)

Trials come, trials pass — testimony intact (uh-huh)

Storms try to shout, but my song won't crack (no, no)

I serve the risen King, not a concept or a creed

He's the living bread, every hunger He will feed

Hope of forever written on my inside (inside)

Not just a promise — it's a living guide (amen)

Commission on my lips: go and tell, go and show

Baptized in the river; baptize them in Your flow (flow)

No fear of the grave 'cause the grave lost its sting

I'm walking in resurrection like the angels sing (hallelujah)

(yeah) Love on my tongue, mercy in my stride

(amen) I was dead, now I'm living — glorified

Bridge

Hallelujah, the flood of g
