in the eyes of John

standing in the water

being the servant, the prophet

preparing the way

for the One to come

there at the Jordan

washing their bodies clean

washing away their sins

tirelessly doing the work

preparing the way for Him

looking up from his task

into the face of Jesus

falling to his knees

unfit to wash the Master

in the eyes of John

when he first saw Jesus

all of the work fulfilled

there at the Jordan
