His Own Name

Baptized in the name
of the everlasting Father,
The God of might, whose splendor
highest heav'n cannot contain.
Yet he marks us as his own,
calls us to be his sons and daughters--
a people and a priesthood
his glory to proclaim.
Our God has given us, our God has given us,
Our God has given us his own name.

Baptized in the name
of God's only Son, Christ Jesus;
Risen with the Living One,
the Lamb for sinners slain.
He clothes us with his righteousness,
and the Father now receives us,
Declaring, "I am pleased with you--
I see no sin or stain."
Our God has given us, our God has given us,
Our God has given us his own name.

CHORUS:
His own name! His own name
seals to us his promise,
and his word is not in vain.
Pledge of God the Father's love,
Sprinkling with the Savior's blood,
Spirit poured from heav'n above like rain.
Our God has given us his own name.

Baptized in the name
of the promised Holy Spirit.
Our Savior pours his blessing out,
with rush of wind and flame--
One who tells us we're God's children now,
and soon we will inherit
the kingdom where God dwells
and there is no more death or pain.
Our God has given us, our God has given us,
Our God has given us his own name.
CHORUS

Pledge of God the Father's love,
Sprinkling with the Savior's blood,
Spirit poured from heav'n above like rain.
Our God has given us his own name.
Our God has given us his own name.
Our God has given us his own name.
