To Stand in the River – v2

If we could but change time
take ourselves there
going to the very spot
where Jesus stood
to stand in the river
by where John stood
one of his disciples
soon to follow Christ
in that moment seeing
our Savior at that instant
when He fell beneath the waters
when He rose from the depths
when the dove descended
hearing God speaking of His love
and seeing the Holy Spirit
falling down upon Him
To stand in the river
with Jesus, with John
with the first disciples
at the moment of His starting
His ministry to begin
under the watchful eye of the Father
