John the Baptist
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.
