Don't let the picture scare you. This is a pretty awesome Christian song - by a 4 time Grammy winner. I want to sing this in church!

Arise and Shine - Engage Magazine Article
-- This article originally appeared at: www.engagemagazine.com. --
Baptism
speaks of a new life, and on September 4 we witnessed this glorious
sacrament in abundance as nine people rose up from the waters at KNU International English Church (at Korea Nazarene University).
In golden letters on a wall overlooking the plaza, 'Arise, shine'
(Isaiah 60:1) formed a fitting backdrop for Christians arising from the
water aglow with sunlight.
The baptism testimonies were as different as you would expect in a group hailing from four countries and spread over three generations.
Undoubtedly, one of the most uplifting stories shared was from Mrs. Lee, a mother of two teenage sons who were also baptized. As one of her sons translated, she spoke of her life without God for 27 years and how she had slowly started experiencing the Lord in her life again. Even though she doesn't speak English well, with help from the pastors and the Holy Spirit, she has overcome the language barrier. One night she dreamed she met God in a room with a white wall and high ceiling. Later in the week she joined her sons in the church's 24/7 prayer room, and she was shocked to see the same room where she had met the Lord in her dream. She immediately broke down in tears, and soon after she gave her life to Christ.
