The Holy Jordan River

by Diana L Crawford


The holy known as Israelites,
with promised land within their sights,
did cross the blessed Jordan River.

The Jordan River of the holy
springs forth from Mount Hermon solely;
and down it flows - a true life giver.

It travels many miles before
reaching Galilean shore,
descending through reeds and papyrus.

At Al-Maghtas, the spiritual feeling
is awakened by baptisms and healing.
Here Yeshua dawned his journey for us.
