In Lumine Dei
You were carried to the water, and the light fell soft and new
Little breaths beneath the blessing, every breath a turning-through
All the years begin their rising, every age a brighter hue
God was calling you by name, and the light was calling too
In Lumine Dei, your path is born in light
In Lumine Dei, each step becomes more bright
In Lumine Dei,, the years unfold at God’s divine pace
In Lumine Dei, God’s light is gifted with His grace
Water falling on your forehead, and the world begins again
Oil of promise on your brow, where every hope is written in
White garment catching morning, like a soul without a stain
Candle lifted in the air, where your new life first begins
In Lumine Dei, your path is born in light
In Lumine Dei, each step becomes more bright
In Lumine Dei,, the years unfold at God’s divine pace
In Lumine Dei, God’s light is gifted with His grace
All the days become a journey, steady heartbeat through the years
Seven, thirteen, twenty rising, every season drawing near
Many decades onward, through the joy and the tears
Walking always in the light, where God has kept your path so clear
In Lumine Dei, your path is born in light
In Lumine Dei, each step becomes more bright
In Lumine Dei,, the years unfold at God’s divine pace
In Lumine Dei, God’s light is gifted with His grace
And the light remains before you, in the quiet and the day
Every age beneath its blessing, every step along the way
You were carried to the water, and the light has led your way
All your life within the promise — ever walking in the day
ABOUT THIS SONG
Written and produced by Tasmanian songwriter Jason Bresnehan, In Lumine Dei is a musical arrangement in the Sacred Chamber Music / Classical genre with a female vocal. The song reflects upon the Sacrament of Baptism and the belief that a Christian life begins not only with physical birth, but through God's grace and calling. The title, meaning "In the Light of God", expresses the central idea that a life of faith unfolds beneath God's guidance from the very beginning.
The lyrics follow the journey of a child brought to the baptismal font and then trace that life forward through the passing years. Water, oil, the white garment and the baptismal candle all appear as symbols of entry into the Christian faith. Beneath the sacramental imagery sits a broader message: every stage of life unfolds according to God's timing, and the light first received at Baptism remains present through childhood, adulthood, joy, hardship and old age. The song presents Baptism not as a single event, but as the beginning of a lifelong walk with God.
The artwork depicts a child receiving Baptism as water is poured across the forehead. Warm light streams through the church in the background, reinforcing the song's theme of divine guidance and spiritual awakening. The image reflects the union of sacrament, grace and new life, visually capturing the moment in which the journey described in the song begins.
This song forms part of the Sacred Chamber Music Collection by Seventh Ribbon Music.
