[Verse]
Let the ESpirit descend, like a Abeautiful Edove
As it did on Jesus that B7day
He was Ebaptized by John, in the Ariver of EJordan
And God's voice, like thunder said, B7"This is my ESon"
[Verse]
When John came preachin', pre Aparin' the Eway
For Jesus the Heavenly B7King
If Eyou'll only trust and be Alieve in His EWord
You'll stand in God's kingdom and B7not be a Eshamed
[Verse]
Let the Spirit descend, like a Abeautiful Edove
As it did on Jesus that B7day
He was Ebaptized by John, in the Ariver of EJordan
And God's voice, like thunder said, B7"This is my ESon"
