Baptized and Alive (No Longer I, But Christ)

🔥 [Song Introduction & Vision] This song is a declaration of faith, proclaiming that we have become a 'new creation' by accepting Jesus Christ. Going beyond the outward ritual of physical water baptism, it sings of how our old selves have died and we have been reborn as precious children of God and citizens of Heaven the moment we believe and confess Jesus with our lips. To become a child of God means that we are empowered to live with the authority of heavenly citizens 'here on this earth, today,' not just in the world to come. This does not mean that our physical hardships and trials in this life have completely ended. However, we do not lose heart because, in faith, those trials will ultimately pass us by. Instead, we will walk a path of joy and live a life filled with daily miracles that He provides. "I no longer live, but Christ lives in me." It is our earnest prayer that everyone who listens to this praise will experience the joy of rebirth and the reality of the power of heavenly citizens that overcomes every trial. #TheBaptistsConfession #I_NoLongerLive #CCM #WorshipSong #NewRelease #SunoAI #AICCM #BaptismSong #DeclarationOfFaith #worshipsong "Baptized and Alive (No Longer I, But Christ)" [Intro] (Bright, rhythmic synthesizer and upbeat drum kick) (Cheerful vocal ad-libs: "Yeah!", "Hallelujah!")
