Music and the Gospel: “Build My Life,” Pat Barrett, Baptism of the Lord

Those of us baptized as babies have no memory of the sacrament. However, Jesus’ baptism gives us time to think and reflect on what being baptized means. The song “Build My Life” is about following in the footsteps of Jesus, embracing his teachings and continuing his mission. When we do this, we join our brothers and sisters in creating a loving and peaceful world.

Key Lyrics: Open up my eyes in wonder / And show me who you are / And fill me with your heart / And lead me in love to those around me / And I will build my life upon your love it is a firm foundation / And I will put my trust in you alone and not retake it

Questions: What does your baptism mean to you? What is one way you live out your faith in Jesus? What do you appreciate about being a part of the worldwide community of Christians? In what ways do you participate in the Church? Why?
