From the heavens over Jordan's bed the thunder
rolled, telling us that you were there; it showed us the Savior, who had come
to us from heaven; it showed us you, the Father of the eternal Light. You
opened the heavens, blessed the air and cleansed the waters, and through the
Holy Spirit, who appeared like a dove, you showed us your only Son.
This was the day when the waters received your
blessing and took away the curse that had been laid on us. Now they can wash
all sins away, if only men will believe; now they can make new children for
God, adopting them to eternal life. Our birth in the flesh destined us to a
life in time, our sin made us the prisoners of death; but now eternal life is
open to us and we are called back to glory in the kingdom of heaven.
