John the Baptist

John 1

John the Baptist came before
To tell about the Light –
Not to be the Light himself,
But a witness to what’s right.

John the Baptist was a voice –
A shout to clear the way,
To baptize man with water
And prepare for Jesus’ Day.

And soon the Lamb of God
Called to man, “Come see.
I’ll baptize with the Spirit
All who follow me.”
