lyrics

Baptism [of Our Lord]

From the desert, prepare the way
make straight his paths, make the rough ways plain
every valley shall be filled as every hill will be brought so low

"This is my son, in whom I am well pleased"
This is the blood that will be spilled to redeem

Then John saying, "I saw the spirit coming down"
a dove from heaven
I knew him not, but he who sent me to this water, to this water

He upon whom though shalt see the
spirit resting and remaining is he
who baptizes with authority
He baptizes with authority

This is the blood that will be spilled to redeem
This is my son, in whom I am well pleased
in whom I am so very pleased

This is my beloved son
only begotten one

about

Peter Johnston RVA Richmond, Virginia

To put it simply, Peter Johnston RVA is Catholic indie rock; you
wouldn't hear this at mass, but it does try to prove that traditional Catholic thought and indie rock are not mutually exclusive. It began easily enough as a few home recordings but has slowly turned into a full on project that explores matters of human dignity and common good in society.
Sincerely yours,
Peter Johnston RVA
