[Verse 1] Jesus came from Galilee To Jordan's crowded shore. John drew back before Him: The lesser faced the more. Yet righteousness would be fulfilled; The servant entered down. Water closed and opened While the Baptist stood around. [Refrain] The heavens opened. The Spirit descended, Gentle as a dove And visibly attended. A voice from above Named the One begun: The Father's well-beloved, The Father's chosen Son. [Verse 2] No crown upon His forehead, No army at His side, Only river water And humility supplied. The sinless stood among the people Where confessing sinners came; The public path of service Opened under heaven's name. [Chorus] The beloved Son, Approved before the testing. The beloved Son, Anointed for the road. Water, Spirit, voice together, Witness gathered where He stood. The beloved Son, The kingdom's servant shown. [Final Refrain] The heavens closed, But the word remained. The wilderness waited, And the tempter would be named. From Jordan toward the desert, The mission had begun; Heaven had borne witness To the beloved Son.
