John, the Baptist
John, the Baptist- baptised people in the Jordan River,
Jesus said, the holy spirit came to him as a dove;
to think about John, the preacher, the saint makes me quiver,
imagine God giving this man the power of his love.
John was a preacher in the Jordan River area,
he was a prophet of God for all

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

John, the Baptist
He was a forerunner of the Saviour,
They couldn't comprehend his behaviour,
He dwelt in the woods,
The prophecy stirred his moods.
He ate locusts and honey,
People thought it funny,
His vision wasn’t in their range,
They saw him strange.
He baptized the repentant by the River Jordan,
He saw the glory higher than,
He was arrested,
His faith was tested.

Praises for the prophet John, many believers found to laud
For he was the one to prepare the way for the Son of God
John urged his listeners to repent for each wrong doing
However, some thought him to be the Messiah, miscontruing.
John the Baptist said, "I am not the Christ. I am the voice
crying in the wilderness

His first name was John,
Fulfilling prophecy Malachi told,
It was Jesus he could rely upon.
A story that will never grow old.
Announced the coming of Jesus,
A message of salvation, we must repent,
The Messiah who will teach us.
Putting ourselves aside, it is Jesus to whom we submit.
Had his head served on a platter,
As the party carried on,
An

John the Baptist
In the spirit of Elijah, John appeared on the scene,
Preaching that they should repent of sin, "Come sinners, get clean".
He baptized in the Jordan those who confessed their sin,
And called out the self-righteous for their hard hearts within.
John had a mission: to prepare the way for Messiah.
To some he seemed a prophet, to others

John, the Baptist
An angel told Zechariah, “Fear not,”
and said his aged wife would bear a son.
They were to name him John. He would bring joy
to many. Through him, God’s work would be done.
Filled with the Spirit even in the womb,
in God’s eyes he would be considered great.
He’d turn the hearts of many back to God
and make paths

The Head of John the Baptist
The head of John the Baptist
Herod Antipas asked the girl to dance
She had her price,
To see her shake those hips
To him it was priceless
Anything you want,
The deal was sealed
Your word is your bond.
Be careful
Of the promises made
On your journey to Blue Mountain peak,
When the blood rushes
And the heart races,
You getting all worked up
Excited and

The Beheading of John the Baptist
The Beheading of John the Baptist
Inside a dungeon, a man is shackled;
Where instruments are employed to inflict
Pain on him while being interrogated;
To confess to crimes, he did not commit.
Above, a damsel dances for Herod,
A gift of pleasure set by her mother.
In a stupor, he rewards Salome
With John the Baptist’s head on a charger.
Herodias’s revenge from

John the Baptist
In the river Jordan
you baptized the people,
some were brood of vipers:
pharisees, sadducees -
hey sanna hosanna,
king Herod you opposed.
You were his prisoner -
his servants cut your head.
In spirit you survived,
bashing black pharisees
even in red cassocks.
White cassock will not save
the one with black soul
and be it the vengeance,
hey sanna hosanna -
just punishment of God.

This man born of Zachariah and Elizabeth
who named him John as was told
by Gabriel who stood in presence of God
sent from heaven with a message of gold
Then 30 years later John preached
in the wilderness about the kingdom of God
emphasising the need for people to repent
as he prepared the way for the Lord
Many people came to

A sole preacher of the wilderness
To thus attest, the Lord’s word
Of numbers great, from lands afar
Would flock to him
To the river Jordan with baptizing
A righteous man, John the Baptist
Of whom would practice, righteous ways
To tell the people, flee from sin
To warn them of a coming king
A worthy man, much greater than him
Yet Pharisees and Sadducees
