Pleasing to God

The son, pleasing to God
at the banks of the Jordan,
coming to be baptized
to go to the one, who had been calling,
crying out in the wilderness
Falling into the waters, rising
heaven opening, parting, a voice
crying, anointing with his word
a dove falling, tongues of fire
resting on him, as oil poured out
very pleased, a shepherd called
to lead his people
