Trinity
From Galilee then on the scene, He burst
For John to immerse Him accordingly.
The Baptist balked; he thought their roles reversed:
“I am in need, yet you come here to me.”
But Jesus answered, “Let it be now so;
’Tis fitting we fulfill all righteousness.”
So John consented, plunged Jesus below;
Into the watery depths, He acquiesced.
As he arose and took a breath of air,
The heavens parted, opened from above.
Then, clear to those who stood nearby them there,
The Spirit fell upon him like a dove.
A voice from heaven cried, “This is my son!”
I am well pleased with him; He is the one!
(from Matthew 3)
