Beginning his public life, in a big way,
falling into the waters, dying to his former life,
rising, baptized, cleansed, affirming repentance
Rising, the Spirit descending, anointing,
watched by God, the heavens opening,
torn apart, revealed,
a voice from above, the Father blessing the son,
sharing words of love, of pride
anointing him, in that moment,
for his ministry of reconciliation, of love
