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
