Epiphany On the Jordan
by Steve Bell

Album: Keening for the Dawn

The heavens split and the water spilled
And streamed around the man like a quickening rain
A quickening rain
The Word behind all worlds revealed
That God in man makes everything new again
New again

This word of God to his beloved
Has settled on me like a dove…

He calls us too, to step into that river
To die and rise to life and love forever
And so graciously extends to me, a sinner
To tread the sacred waters of
The mystery of love

What can be said about a mystery
Except to say that the last word can never be said
Never said
Best leave that to poetry
Kindling words for quickening the dead
The living dead

Pure, single heart behind all things
Each to the other, by the spirit sing

He calls us too, to step into that river…
