This sermon was preached during the service in which my daughter was baptized. As the Psalm, I sang "Child of the Water" by Dakota Road:

"CHILD OF THE WATER"
Chorus:
You're a child of the water, child of the word,
guided by promise and stories you've heard.
God of the wounded knows you by name
and carries you home ev'ryday.

From your first breath
to the last step,
all of the dance;
down deep in your laughter,
whatever your fears,
try to remember... (Chorus)

Life is a gift,
time carries on,
and you will grow;
amidst your believing
and throughout your doubt,
something is sure... (Chorus)

Bridge:
We journey together as children of God,
sealed by the cross... (Chorus)
