washing his clay – v2

Christ’s answer to his cousin

to John in the Jordan

what must be done

being done

in this moment

at the Jordan

washing his clay

Christ’s humanity

into the water

to be baptized

with all of us

Christ’s mission beginning

fulfilling God’s purpose

entering the water

dying to self

rising cleansed

the dust of creation

departing to serve

to raise us to life
