an authentic witness


John standing by the Jordan
in the wilderness preaching
crying out in the desert,
“prepare the way for Christ”.

An authentic witness
not claiming too much
knowing his own weakness
that he was made of dust.

Sharing the hope of the nation
the redemption of the Messiah
preparing a way in the desert
making the way straight for Christ.
