Those for whom repentance was prized
Judea and Jerusalem
Confessing sins, baptized by him
A coat of hair and leather belt
Locusts and honey for food dealt
One comes who is greater than I
Whose sandal I dare not untie
With water, I only baptize
His Spirit baptism you’ll prize
So from Nazareth Jesus came
For John’s baptism of acclaim
As the water He did depart
He saw the heavens torn apart
The Spirit falling like a dove
As a voice said from up above
You bring me great joy in my heart
And You are My Son whom I love
