The Coming of the Gospel
The prophet Isaiah clearly declared
of the coming of the Lord's way
by sending John the Baptist
to prepare for the Lord's day
John preached a message of repentance
for the forgiveness of sins in the wilderness
pointing to a greater one than he
who baptised with the Holy Spirit no less
John baptised the Christ in the Jordan
Jesus came up out of the river
and the heavens opened and spoke
my beloved son pleases me for ever
Jesus was driven by the Holy Spirit
into the wilderness for forty days
there tempted by the devil
angels were His aid scripture says
Jesus then went into Galilee
proclaiming God's glorious good tidings
telling repent and believe the gospel
such salvation joy Jesus brings
Jesus then calls His disciples
to follow Him becoming fishers of men
immediately they left their nets
as today He calls as Jesus did then
Mark 1 v 1-20
