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.
