Homework from Baptism Class

[Bernergirl]

This is my testimony, as written in song.

[FONT=&quot]“teenage drama”[/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]​

[FONT=&quot]I remember…[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]North Pole-proper conversation[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]All an imitation[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Of the perfect girl[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]In your head[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]One false step[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And I’m sure to go down[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Can’t let myself drown[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I’ve got shoes to fill[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]They call it “teenage drama”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Well, if that was dramatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I’m no fanatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And it’s time to panic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When the morning begins[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I remember…[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hurts so much to see you down[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Just another common frown[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]What makes you get to me?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Who lets you get to me?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It’s certainly not me[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Miss Perfectly-[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Aligned; Miss Orderly-[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And-In-Control[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You can’t get to me[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I don’t care; soon you’ll see[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]They call it “teenage drama”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And it is dramatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But I’m no fanatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And now I panic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When the morning begins[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Who is that peering out[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]From the windows to your soul?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]“Your only goal”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Who lets you get to me[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Why don’t you care[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot](It seems like you’re not all there)[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]About the busy-ness and hare-[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Brained schemes as life pulls a fast one on me[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Again[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And they call it “teenage drama”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]So dramatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I’m no fanatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I always panic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]When the morning begins[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And now I’m starting to see[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]To understand this mystery[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It’s not so indecipherable now[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And my heart is pounding[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The same way it never has before[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I see the Door[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And He’s calling me, too[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And in all this “teenage drama”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I suspect I’ve accidentally[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Let me defense down[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And let Him get to me[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Can you see?[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And these days there’ve been[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Plenty of false steps[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Wonder if my parents detect[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]The change I’ve undergone[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I’ve let myself down[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And been found in the process[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And I’m not drowning[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But I confess[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I’m still learning how to swim[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And if it wasn’t for “teenage drama”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]It’d still be the same[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Day-in and day-out[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Holding onto my pride[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And snide remarks[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]No lights and darks for me[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Just harmony[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Hidden somewhere in the pages[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Of this never ending history book[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]Dying is what it took[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For me to look at it all differently[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And it’s all because of “teenage drama”[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]His ways might be dramatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]But I am a new-found fanatic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And I’ll only panic[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]If I don’t give in[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot] [/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And I’ve got hopes and dreams[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]All highlighted in bright yellow[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I believe[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And if you’ve got a story like mine[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]You know the tics of my mind[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]My crazy insane heart[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]And I suppose it’s a start to say[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]That if You don’t mind[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]I’d like to stick around[/FONT]
[FONT=&quot]For a little more “teenage drama”[/FONT]

There is a "baptism class"?

Is that Scriptural?

I've never heard of such a thing.

Thanks!

 

[Bernergirl]

No, it isn't Scriptural, nor is it a requirement for baptism. It's just something the church thought would be a good idea for those being baptized to get a background on baptism, what it is, what it means, etc. etc.
