lyrics

Jesus came from Nazarene unto Galilee
To be baptized of John in Jordan
And John said unto Him, Come and talk to me

I need to be baptized of Thee
And Jesus said unto John, Suffer it to be so for
Thus it becomes us to fill all righteousness.

And John done saw that number
Way in the middle of the air
Cryin; how long, how long, how long,
My Lord, oh how long.

After Jesus was baptized of John
Straightaway out of the waters
Looked and saw heavens open
And the spirit of God came down
And lit a bow on Him, and Jesus was
Carried up into the mountain...
