Jordan’s Baptism
In my own emotion’s storm
I hear you call my name
Words heard yet long forgotten
Echo above the wind
The maelstrom howls it’s fury loud
Yet within its central eye
A strange peace is found
Found, lost, sought and found anew
I reach to you
The wind assails
Fragile faith
Is all too clear
Another Peter
Staggers here
Grant me courage
When the wind calls my name
My frantic heart to tame
To rest once more
Oh to feel that rest
The sacred guest
Bids me welcome
Step onto Jordan’s shore
Be baptized once more
Let the rain of forgiveness
Drench, refresh the weary soul
Sit a while
Remember how to smile
Close the desperate eyes
And dare to dream
Of sunlit skies
And peace
