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]

[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
