Today is Sunday the 11th of January, the Feast of the the banks of the Jordan.

And all for me, you went down to the days

You traded heaven's borders for the shield of murky waters

And took the place of one condemned to death That day John preached for man to draw near

But God is you

It came down here

Maximilian sings Jordan's Waters As we prepare to pray with the Lord's baptism today, compose the scene in your mind.

Walk towards the River Jordan.

What does it all look like?

As you plunged into the deep, in search of muddy hers,

Son a man you left behind you rode.

They found me in the dark, and as you rose out of your mind

this prodigal came up dressed in gold

that day John preached for man to draw near

but God it's you that came down here

making short a man's road to you

in Jordan's waters I've been made new.

When you rose out of that pale grave into a hard Judean sun,

with a violence, the heavens did divine

Father you came running

And rap me in your voice

Shouting new son of my new day
