Why Wait! - Flame, George Rose

Uh huuuuh

Why wait

Saul was all on the road

On the Damascus road

Persecuting was a goon

Scripture said it was about noon

Then the light of heaven shone

Saul

Why did you persecute me

Lord

I don’t even know who you be

The one you are persecuting

I am Jesus the Nazarene

Then he said what should I do

Jesus spoke rise up and go

Into Damascus you’ll be told

When you get there what you’re supposed to do

Light too bright got blinded

By his hand got guided

Then met Ananias

Devout man stood by him

What he say

What he say

He said

Paul receive your site

Scales (scale like) fell from his eyes

Spirit filled his life

Why wait be baptized

Scripture tells us why

It washes away your sins

Not just symbolizes

Nice

Why wait

Why wait

Uh huuuuh

Why wait

Be baptized

Why wait

Why wait

Uh huuuuh

Why wait

Be baptized

Take a minute read the scriptures on baptism without your presuppositions

And the washings in the Old Testament like Naaman washed in the Jordan River

Don’t forget the Levitical priestly washings and Ezekiel’s Vision

You get the picture from the scripture that baptism

Is now the fulfillment (connect that)

Sometimes water drowns

God use it to judge

Sometimes water saves

Think of Noah’s flood

They in the boat

The boat was floating

Window opened

Then Noah sent out a dove

The second time the dove came in

In her mouth was an olive leaf freshly plucked

Peter said they were saved through the water

Like Israel was saved through the water

When Moses split the Red Sea

He judged some and made sons and daughters (out of others)

It’s by faith is not magic

Don’t have faith you can access

Forgiveness

If you resist

Then that’s it

But if it’s

Repentance happening by the Spirit then I’m asking

Why wait

Why wait

Uh huuuuh

Why wait

Be baptized

Why wait

Why wait

Uh huuuuh

Why wait

Be baptized

Why wait

Why wait

Uh huuuuh
