Roel Lungay Orchestration by Romeo Mascariñas 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.
