After me there comes a Man
Who's rank is surely higher
And what I do with water here
He will do with fire.
BRIDGE ✤
Behold the lamb
that takes your sin
is coming now before you.
But to be immersed
by such as I
is something we must not do.
CHORUS ✤
But He says
It's right we should permit
At this time
For in this way is it
Fitting and so
I will heed His call
To fulfill -- to fulfill it all.
Now, I've been sent to point to Him
And I confess I am not
The annointed one that's known to come
From the promises that we have got
BRIDGE ✤
