Baptism of Christ, 1st Sunday of Epiphany, Post Communion (Redub)

God within all worlds,
God beyond all worlds:
when Jesus was baptized with water
you were there, with the Spirit.
Be with us on our journeys
through the waters of life and death.
May your life giving water
bring us to the new creation.
Amen.

The Gunning Fog readability index suggests 5.87 years of formal education is required to understand this prayer on a first reading, the Common Worship prayer requires 21.7 years.

Here's the information on how this prayer is a redub.
