and there was a voice



Christ falling below the waters
in the arms of John
rising, praying
The Spirit descending
physically, like a dove
landing bodily upon him
filling him with love

And there was a voice
a voice from heaven above
through the rent of heaven
speaking to us below
God spoke paternity
claiming Christ as his own
the watchful loving Father
sent the Son into the world
