Beneath the Waters I will rise is a beautiful song from Cornerstone Album of Hillsong live written by Brooke Ligertwood & Scott Ligertwood, sung by Annie Garratt. "We were therefore buried with him through baptism into death in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead through the glory of the Father, we too may live a new life." Romans 6:4 (NIV). In its essence, this song is about rising to the new life Romans 6:4 speaks of as well as acknowledging the submission to Christ's Lordship that baptism represents. In a broader sense, however, it has become a powerful confession of faith and salvation that has found a place across the life of our church, not just in a baptism setting.
