Was John the Christ



The people, his disciples
wondering who he was
Was John the Christ
the One who was foretold

John speaking with power
setting the stage
speaking of who he was
who was to come

Christ would come to baptize
with the Spirit and with fire
to burn us clean of this world
and set our lives alight
