Lyrics:
1. This I promise on my baptism day
To follow the Lord in every way
In thought and in action in all I say
And keep the commandments starting today
2. An arm will be raised by the one who will pray
And down in the water I'll go this day
So all of my sins will be washed away
Then the priesthood on me their hands they will lay
3. To receive the spirit allow it to stay
By reading my scriptures being kind when I play
So back to my Father I'll go one day
Is what I will promise on my baptism day

Story:
"On My Baptism Day" (Fall 2001)
When my niece Riaunna was preparing for baptism, Amber and I wanted to give her a unique gift...voila quoi, as the French would say! Amber sang the song at Ri's baptism, and I was honored to perform the ordinance. I love writing primary songs, they always end up being in triple meter for me! :)
