What were the words of his prayer



As he was baptized
when he rose from the waters
Christ bowing to prayer
to lift up thanks to God

What were the words of his prayer
was he submitting to God’s purpose
was he aware at this moment
did he call the Holy Spirit

What did the others hear
did they hear his words to God
did they hear the voice of God calling
claiming his Son here

What were the words of his prayer
was his giving himself to the Father
fully aware of the path, what was to come
submitting to his calling
