I held my Savior – v3

I saw my Savior
there on the shoreline
knowing I’m not worthy
yet He came to me
to be baptized

I held my Savior
descended from heaven
my flesh, my cousin
his body heavy
as we entered the water

I held my Savior
the One, Messiah,
washed in the Jordan
up from the waters
redeemed to new life

I held my Savior
in the living waters
lifting the Christ
the Spirit descended
bodily, like a dove,

I held my Savior
in this act of worship
readied for service
into the world
the Lamb come to save us
