Happiness in this carpenter



God’s voice proclaiming
shouting from heaven
happiness in this carpenter
this man rising from the water

Claiming Christ as his Son
the risen Messiah
God’s mark upon him
the Spirit residing

Happiness in this son of man
this adult, the Christ-child
marking him for his life
for his service for the kingdom
