I bless you to
Step into the Jordan
Under the power of
God’s presence.
Like the children of God
Who crossed the river into Canaan
Differently than their forbears’
Passage through the Sea.The venture into the
Promised Land began
With ark-bearing priests
Dipping into the Jordan waters.The heavy presence of God,
Typified in the gilded
Ark of the Covenant,
The place of God’s palpable presence,
Was born upon the priests.The children of God
Escaped slavery through
The blood of the Lamb
And they escaped Pharaoh
Through the miracle of the Sea,
But when God’s people
Began their conquest of the
Promised Land,
They moved forward by
The presence of God.You, in Christ,
Are now the priest
Who moves forward under
The weight of His glory.
Enter your Promised Land
With God enthroned
Upon your praises.
