Arranged by Monica Scott
I arranged this for my daughter’s baptism when she turned 8 years old. She is singing in this video and now that she is older it is such a treasure to me to have.

Jesus came to John the Baptist,
In Judea long ago,
And was baptized by immersion
In the River Jordan’s flow.
I like to look for rainbows whenever there is rain
And ponder on the beauty of an earth made clean again.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
(overlapping melodies sung in unison)
I know when I am baptized my wrongs are washed away,
And I can be forgiven and improve myself each day.
I want my life to be as clean as earth right after rain.
I want to be the best I can and live with God again.
Jesus came to John the Baptist,

Sister, this is incredible. My son will be baptized this weekend and the feelling of this song is the one that we want to have there. Thanks.
I used this as part of our “Come follow me” lesson for our children. It goes well with teaching Matthew 3. Thank you for sharing your beautiful talent!
What a sweet arrangement! Beautiful.
