John the Baptist, True Man of God Was He

John The Baptist, True Man Of God Was He His name was John, a man God saw quite fit A shining light shown in all that he did With the starving for faith crowd a huge hit He came with his own pot, kettle and lid Water and Word were his true message sent And the angels watched over his crowd He had nothing to do with government He spoke truth with his godly word so loud He water baptized, angels rejoice Nobody counted all he had saved But all Heaven shouted with one great voice While Heaven feasted, the angels all raved.
