With You I'M Well Pleased

By the Jordan people came out to John
to be baptised and cleansed of all wrong.
     “Now all you Pharisees
     who warned you to flee
from God's wrath. To him you cease to belong.”

When Jesus came out to be baptised
John did confess that he was surprised.
     Rising from the river
     a dove came down thither.
“This is my Son with whom I'm well pleased.”

Matthew 3
