John the Baptist

When John the Baptist was preaching alone 
           He believed that some people would come
            To hear the message which God breathed
        To him as one of his chosen whom he chosed. 
           By surprise,  many people came to hear him 
              As the message of God  concerned them.
      They repented their sins and the  prophet baptised 
      Them in Jordan river and it was to prepare the way
          Of Jesus Christ  who was coming for salvation. 
           When John the Baptist baptized Jesus , God 
              Came out of his silence and said loudly, 
"He is my beloved Son"that was the great confirmation.
