“The Day the Church Was Born”

Before You rose to heaven in glory,

You left us, Lord, Your final command:

“Go to the world, go tell My story,

Make disciples in every land.”

To all the nations You have called us,

No condition, no divide,

In the name of the Father and the Son,

And the Holy Spirit our guide.

¡And on that day, everything changed,

Your promise from heaven came down,

Like a mighty wind and fire of love,

Your Holy Spirit filled us now.!

¡It was the day the Church was born!

In water and fire it began,

Heaven’s power came to the earth,

And Your Spirit transformed every man!

The promise is for everyone,

For the children and all who believe,

Today the whole world declares:

Jesus Christ is Lord without equal!

Peter stood up with fire inside,

And boldly proclaimed Your truth:

“Turn away and come to the Lord,

In His waters find life renewed.”

And three thousand ran to You,

Born again in Your holy name,

Whole families answered “yes,”

Forever changed, never the same.

¡For you and for your children too,

For all who are far away,

There is no barrier, no age, no wall,

That Your grace cannot reach today.

And even when we don’t understand,

Your mercy is always enough,

You see the heart of every soul,

And cover them with Your love.!

It was the day the Church was born!

In water and fire it began,

And today we live that promise,

Your Spirit is alive in us again!

To the nations we proclaim:

Jesus Christ is Lord and King!

In His name we baptize now:

Father, Son, and Spirit we sing!
