In 1997, Gerrit Dawson and I wrote this song for our Confirmation class. I've continued to use it on Confirmation Sundays throughout the years. The lyrics are below the video.
NOW YOU MAKE IT YOUR OWN (Dawson/Austell)
God chose you in Christ before the world was made
He came here for you... the Word was enfleshed
In Jesus, on the cross, your sins were laid
So dying, then rising with him, you are kept
Long love foresaw this day, parents vowed before the throne
Friends in Christ showed the way; now you make it your own
God told his story through those in your home
Christ showered love as water was poured
The Spirit brought friends, you’re never alone
So in the Church, you share one faith, one Lord CHORUS
The world will insist that you turn its way
But dear ones resist, remember this day!!
Before God and us, you make holy vows
The name of Jesus you confess in Word
And in your heart. Each day you will follow
The Savior whose call to serve you have heard CHORUS
