Put on your armor
Take up your sword
Lace up your boots as you walk in the Lord
Some baptized by fire
Some baptized by rain
Some baptized in honor
Some baptized in pain
As we walk down to the river
Down toward love
Down to your maker
And be washed as white as a dove
Let’s gather around this child with hands
Hands that protect, hands to defend
Just like our Savior’s, pierced through the bone
Let’s care for this child as one of your own
As we walk down to the river
Down toward love
Down to your maker
And be washed as white as a dove
Look around
Look around
And see your mother, your father, your sisters and brothers
Carry the cross with you now
As we walk down to the river
Down toward love
Come on down to your maker
And be washed as white as a dove
