DEPENDENCE

Jesus was baptised and praying
When His public path began
For dependence is the essence
Of the perfect Man.

Jesus praying is the Person
No one could be finer than
For dependence is the essence
Of the perfect Man.

Test the oblation in the oven
Or the cauldron or the pan
For dependence is the essence
Of the perfect Man.

How distinctive to the Father
Was the patient track Christ ran!
For dependence is the essence
Of the perfect Man.
