Big Good John


John 1:6-7

There came a man, who was sent from God,
The name of John as a witness and applaud;
Testifying for the concern about the light,
So through him all might believe in delight;
This man told us of the coming of the king,
While he was performing his baptismal thing;
John said that there would be one greater,
That was coming there not that much later;
Lo and behold, he knew Christ right away,
When Jesus came to be cleansed that day;
Now it must have been really quite a sight,
The unworthy feeling that it was not right;
A person that was much greater than he,
Coming to him for the baptismal decree;
John understood exactly what he had to do,
For God's plan started coming into view;
The honor was upon John as it required,
To baptize Jesus since it was so desired;
He knew that everything was appeased,
Hearing from God of being well pleased.
