A short film based on the last days of the life of John the Baptist. The story is extracted from the Gospels (Matthew 14:1-12 and Mark 6:14-29)
from the very beginning my father would
tell me that I was born with a purpose
[Music]
his name is John yeah and he will
prepare the way of the Lord
Oh a purpose
that we change everything
[Music]
[Music]
look at me now John he does not follow
the law of Moses he eats with tax cake
balloons with a snooze surely he cannot
be the Messiah fear he business go go
and ask her if you truly is the one
I cannot have wasted my life for a
blasphemer
[Music]
again I say to you repent to Israel for
the kingdom of heaven is near I am the
voice of one crying out in the
wilderness prepare the way of the Lord
make his paths straight i baptize you
with water but after me comes one who is
more powerful than I and he will baptize
you with the Holy Spirit and fire behold
the lamb of God who takes away the sin
of the world and whose sandal strap I’m
not even worthy to untie
[Music]
[Music]
this is my beloved son in whom I am well
pleased
[Music]
with any of its real
I am the way the truth and the life no
one comes to the Father except through
me
and if you hold to my words and you
truly are my disciples and you shall
know the truth and the truth shall set
you free rabbi we are sent by John yes
yes if you truly are the one who is to
come the Messiah would be my son
take him down cuz the ladies hand and
have no fear only believe are you he
[Music]
Oh
[Laughter]
Thank You rabbi

today
[Music]
master
[Music]
he did not give us an answer his words
were few and cryptic he perrolli even
looked at us all he said was go and tell
John what you have seen as if that would
help you tell me what you saw
[Music]
we saw find eyes opened the death
hearing again
[Music]
[Music]
remember this it is written and then the
lame shall leap as a deer
and the tongue of the dumb Singh and
these my son are the signs that will
follow the Messiah
[Music]
he truly is the one he’s reminding me of
the parts of the profits
[Music]
[Music]
I was the voice of one crying out in the
wilderness
[Music]
preparing the way of the Lord
I have fulfilled my purpose
and now
the time of my departure is at hand
I must decrease so that he
may increase
[Music]
my death shall be swallowed up in
victory
I will return hunt to the Shepherd
and the bishop of mice
[Music]
among all those born of women there is
no greater prophet than John the Baptist
but he who is least in the kingdom of
God he’s greater than he
[Music]
[Music]
the mission to save the world he can
tear stone broken I never listened to
all men
the words ever spoken change my
[Music]
