When I Am Baptized History
This information comes from Stories from The Children’s Songbook by Sister Pat Graham (more information on that book HERE).
In 1986, this song was a Church music contest winner entitled “Rainbows: A Baptism Song.” There were many songs about baptism, and without a different focus the song could not be considered.We approached Nita Milner [the author and composer] about revising the words with a virtue inference. After several suggestions she consented to the changes.That was fortunate, as the song has definitely become a favorite. The title now emphasizes the message, and the song is listed in the topic index under “baptism” and “morality.”
