In the desert of our sin, John stands tall
A voice crying out, a prophet\'s call
Repent, he says, turn to a higher power
Seek forgiveness in this deserted hour
People flock to him, from far and near
Their hearts and souls desperately seeking to clear
A baptism of repentance, the message clear
To turn away from sin and draw near
John embodies our need for grace
In the barren wasteland, he takes his place
But he proclaims hope, a coming Savior
One who will baptize in the Holy Spirit\'s favor
Like Isaiah of old, he refuses to despair
He points to the One who will soon be there
In the desert of sin, amidst the dry ground
John prepares the way, for the Savior to be found
So let us heed his call, in this Advent season
To turn our hearts to God, and His precious reason
For in the desert of our need, in our heart of clay
The coming Savior will lead us to a brighter day. (\"John The Baptist\") by Courtney Weaver Jr.
