We, like John,
standing in the wilderness
up to our waist in water
weighed down with the world
Like him, witness to Light
to the light of Christ, that wondrous gift
the saving grace of our risen Lord
be like him,
witness to the unseen light
the living light,
dancing in the hearts of the saints
a light to change the world
