Jeremiah was a bullfrog...
Was a good friend of mine....
Hey, hey, hey! That's not how this song goes. This song is about me....
John!
I'm known as the baptiser!
Hey I'm John, a Jewish prophet and cousin to our Lord Jesus Christ! I was considered the last Old Testament prophet.
I preached about repentance, and lived in the Judean wilderness. I wore camel's hair and ate locusts and feasted on wild honey.
I'm known as the baptiser!
I bathed people in the Jordan River...
I cleansed their sins and made them new in the eyes of God!
I preached about the coming of the messiah!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
I'm John the baptiser!
I baptised people as a symbol of turning away from sin and preparing for judgement. When Jesus came to be baptized, I recognized Him as the Son of God, witnessing the Spirit descend like a dove.

I was imprisoned by King Herod Antipas for condemning his unlawful marriage and was later executed at the request of Herodias' daughter, Salome!
I was beheaded in a prison cell.

I lost my head for my faith in the Lord!
My ministry culminated in baptizing Jesus, after which I pointed his followers to Jesus, saying, "He must increase, but I must decrease".
