E'en with a
flood of tears?
Or is it rather
Spirit
That grafts the
sinner in?
Does parting of
the waters
Make Exodus come
true?
Or is it rather
death to sin
That makes one
born anew?
Between the two
creations
Two baptisms
confess
The one depicts
the story,
The other makes
one blest.
Immersion in
Christ's story
Death, burial,
new birth
Begins the tale
of Christians,
New beings on
old earth.
- Ben Witherington III
