Cristian Ramirez Rodriguez - Dare to Hope (Baptized & Sent) Lyrics

I was drowning in my apathy
Drowning in regret
Murky water filling
The cavity inside my chest
I felt alone in the ocean
An ocean of despair
The salt-water in my eyes
Didn't let me see that You were there
Until You touched the water
And made it crystal clear
As my sins washed away You said
"Child, do not fear
I do not condemn you
Go and sin no more
I make all things new
And give rest to the worn
You've been Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Dare to hope again."
As I rose out of the water
You breathed new life into my lungs
Reignited the fire inside my soul
I extinguished when I was young
You said "receive the Holy Spirit,
and go out to the depressed;
Bring me the suicidal
And those that haven't met me yet
Love the disenfranchised
Protect the oppressed
And preserve the dignity
Of those whom no man respects
As you do for the least of these
That you do for Me
Only love remains
In eternity
You've been Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Dare to hope again
You've been Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Dare to hope again”

I was drowning in my apathy
Drowning in regret
Murky water filling
The cavity inside my chest
I felt alone in the ocean
An ocean of despair
The salt-water in my eyes
Didn't let me see that You were there
Until You touched the water
And made it crystal clear
As my sins washed away You said
"Child, do not fear
I do not condemn you
Go and sin no more
I make all things new
And give rest to the worn
You've been Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Dare to hope again."
As I rose out of the water
You breathed new life into my lungs
Reignited the fire inside my soul
I extinguished when I was young
You said "receive the Holy Spirit,
and go out to the depressed;
Bring me the suicidal
And those that haven't met me yet
Love the disenfranchised
Protect the oppressed
And preserve the dignity
Of those whom no man respects
As you do for the least of these
That you do for Me
Only love remains
In eternity
You've been Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Dare to hope again
You've been Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Baptized and Sent
Dare to hope again”
