His Spirit

The same spirit, His Spirit
filling us, filling me,
the same spirit that fell on Christ
that woke him from slumber
in the middle of the Jordan
The Holy Spirit awakening, changing
transforming us for ministry
coming the work of our brother
the one who bore the cross
beginning in that moment in the Jordan
the carpenter’s son claimed
as the son of God
