A New Moses
A New Moses splits Jordan’s smooth surface,
Fulfillment through the first-borne has begun,
Illumined Dove descends like dewfall’s kiss,
Time for Messiah has finally come,
Agape’s gaze follows His Only Son.
A light the darkness cannot understand,
Yet for the heart there is nowhere to run,
Boats and nets abandoned for this God-man,
Anxiously seeking this Kingdom at hand.
Jerusalem welcomes this Man of Sorrows,
Shouts of praise amid palm-blanketed sands,
Still death’s dark clouds await His tomorrow.
Nevertheless, death is overwhelmed through love,
True Life, resurrection, rises with the Illumined Dove.

Beautiful testimony, Chris. You’ve captured the full horizon from Baptism to Resurrection in three short verses. Praise God.
Bless you Deacon!
