The Savior had come - v2

The One foretold in scripture,
the one who was the harbinger,
the one by the River Jordan,
making a way for Him, for us.

The words of John, His cousin,
that the Savior had come in the flesh
calling himself to the background,
Letting Christ take center stage.

“He must increase, He must become greater,
I must decrease, I must yield to Him”;
Christ must take on the mantle,
as He was the One to come.

Each of them in submission,
to their calling their purpose,
there at the Jordan, at the beginning,
in the water, in Christ’s dying,
in His rising from the waters.

Christ’s ministry beginning,
baptizing with the Spirit, love,
John moving to the background,
as the bride to the Bridegroom…
