Either version of the song can be sung at a christening or dedication ceremony, based upon beliefs. Every priest and minister who has seen and heard this loves and approves the simple message of love and hope. It is easy to sing like a lullaby.

Tiny baby lying there.

Not a worry. Not a care...
There are now 13 Tracks on my SharePoint site. 11 from A Cup of Cold Water, and two Bonus Tracks from my derivitive work Ambient Seashore. They are designed to take you on a Spiritual Journey if you listen to them in the right order. That order is:
1. Baptism Song
2. Ambient Seashore
3. Trinity
4. Meditation II
5. Communion Song
6. Song for Thomas
7. All my Trials
8. Prayer of St. John Paul the Great
9. River of Life
10. Morning of the Last Day
11. Take Five
The other two Tracks, with my acccompanying partner, Bill Hughes - Tenor, are Freebies taken from my Derivative work Ambient Seashore, which is intended to be of the Genre Christian Contemporary (it has all of the strictly Catholic Tracks removed so as not to scare away the Christians) are Roll Down the Ages & I Am the Vine. Those two Tracks are special because I lost them for a time, and my curious oldest son found them among the hard drives of our outdated Gateway computers with P5 166 MHz Pentium processors in them that refuse to die. In any event consider them as Dessert. I am including with this Post a PDF of the Info & Lyrics from A Cup of Cold Water to remind you of why you're willing to spend an hour or more (depending on the Download Rate of your Internet Connection. I truly hope you enjoy listening to these Tracks the way they sounded on my SONY PROs when I recorded them. MTR
Nick Alexander here... A couple of days ago, a reader of this blog asked if we could come up with some recommendations for a youth-oriented baptism service. He was looking for the great song that would tie everything together. After putting our heads together, we came up with the following list. I hope it helps others looking for something similar.
Finally, if you are looking for suggestions for retreat themes, or religious services, or prayer nights, or whatever, we would like to be of help. It's free. Just contact us, and we will do our best. It would give us no greater joy than to introduce others to those great songs that can minister to you and your community.
