Raymond A. Foss Poems

Back to Poems Page

He was right there, in the heart of it
standing in the water, calling the people
chiding the charlatans, the vipers,
standing in the river, water to clean
to wash clean; Repentance!
A new baptism to come
from the savior at the riverbank,
in the water, falling into the water
Rising to light from heaven, to the Spirit
descending like a dove.
A witness now, no long merely
crying in the wilderness
A witness to
the coming of the Son of God,
anointed for mission,
to bring us back to God

February 17, 2008
John 1:29-42 and sermon,
“Witness”, by Reverend Peter Hey,
Wesley United Methodist Church,
Concord, NH 1/20/08
