WHEN JESUS CAME TO JORDAN

Performed by Fr. J. Roel Lungay
Arranged and produced by Romeo Mascarinas

1
When Jesus came to Jordan
To be baptized by John,
He did not come for pardon
But as the Father’s Son.

2
He came to share repentance
With all who mourn their sins,
To speak the vital sentence
With which good news begins.

(Interlude)

3
He came to share temptation,
Our utmost woe and loss;
For us and our salvation
To die upon the cross.

4
So when the Dove descended
On him, the Son of Man,
The hidden years had ended,
The age of grace began.
