Ivanka was walking down the street
When John-the-Baptist she chanced to meet
She stopped and said,
"Don't lose your head
Or my Dad will slam you in a tweet!"...

John the Baptist in a camel hair "suit"
Girded with a leather belt to boot
On a steady diet of wild honey and locusts
It's a wonder he was able to maintain his focus...

Seek
Yet he said “seek and you will find,”
That it works, comes into mind,
Jesus said John the Baptist was Elijah,
Foretold to return , remind ya,
“As ye sow so shall ye reap,”
When bitterness is yours to keep,
Is the bad seed inside ya.

Don’t have a bible?...

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....

For the Reverend Jacqui Clark, of the church of St.John the Baptist, Devizes, with love
 
God loves little Jacqui Clark
With all her kind and merry ways
Bright darling candle in the dark
Dear joyful soul who lights our days
Thank you, Jacqui, for the love
You bear to heal our hurt and pain
For blesséd manna from above
Flows forth from you
Like gentle rain

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....

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 insane request, but it didn’t matter.
He was simply entertainment, a pawn....

He was of John the Baptist 
and JHS age,
when he was executed
as they were for faith.

He was Protestant,
before converting to Catholicism,
charged with treason
against the Queen.

Sacraments for him were as in the book,
“The Defense of Seven Sacraments”
by king Henry the VIII,
when king was the defender of faith.

Of opposite ways they went:
the king and Kirby.
True defender of faith,
priest Kirby or the Monarch King?...

The Jordan River in Israel is remembered;
As the river where miracles occurred.
Joshua lead by God almighty was instructed;
To put the ark of the covenant in the Jordan
River, where an awesome miracle happened.
Later, John the Baptist was instructed by the lord,
To baptise Jesus Christ with water from the Jordan.
The spirit of God came upon Jesus Christ;
Revealing the greatest sign from heaven
as a holy dove while in the Jordan....
