A Hymn for Teddy's Baptism

Last night my friend Stacy called and wanted me to sing at Teddy's baptism.

YES! I said.

I want to sing a hymn and figure out how to make it come alive for the very humble and striving people who will be in attendance at the baptism.

"Come Follow Me" seemed like a good choice... I'd never realized it was a hymn about baptism, though there it was, listed under the topic of baptism in the hymnbook.

As I sang all 6 verses, I realized it was about following Jesus both now and in the eternities. I'd never thought before about how we'll be following Jesus into the eternities. Even as immortal beings, we'll still learning from Him and growing, becoming what He knows we can be.

Amazing. I hope Teddy liked it.
