From the desert to the Sea

He moved to ministry
Washed in the Jordan,
touched by the dove,
anointed by water,
the Word of God, the Father
ringing down from heaven above
Tested in the crucible,
the temptation,
hungry, in the desert,
the wilderness,
Choosing to serve, to suffer,
to minister, to fulfill
the prophets’ words.

From the desert to the Sea
The Sea of Galilee
To call fishermen,
to understand fishing anew,
a different catch, different nets
shown by the carpenter, the shepherd

Bringing in the human harvest
souls ready for saving
by the word of the Savior,
the work of the disciples
teaching his message
of hope, of faith, of love
of saving grace.
