He was a witness, to the light,
coming into the world, crying out
a witness, testifying, preaching, exhorting,
calling all to repent, to turn from their sin
to prepare the way, for the Messiah
a witness of unseen light
heralding a day soon to come
his ministry begun
wading into the wilderness
falling into the water
raised to anointing
descended on by the dove
