Lyrics
[Verse]
Sent from the Pharisees, they asked me quite aggressively
"Why are you baptizing, if not the Christ nor Elijah?"
I replied, with a fire burning deep inside
"I baptize with water, but one stands here you don't recognize"
[Verse 2]
Among you all, is the one who comes after me
The strap of his sandal, I'm not worthy to untie
The Pharisees may doubt, but they don't know what he's about
He's the chosen one, the Savior that's gonna set hearts alight
[Chorus]
Sent from the Pharisees, they question my authority
But I'm here to testify, about the one they don't know
He's the Messiah, the truest desire
Let his love flow, let his grace overflow
[Verse 3]
These things took place in Bethany, Across the Jordan you see
I was baptizing, Water flowing free
Preparing the way for the world to see
[Verse 4]
The next day I saw Jesus coming near
Pointed and said, "Behold!
The Lamb of God Now here
To takes away sin, of the world so clear
This man ranks before me, Let His light appear."
Behold!
[Chorus]
Sent from the Pharisees, they question my authority
But I'm here to testify, about the one they don't know
He's the Messiah, the truest desire
Let his love flow, let his grace overflow
[Verse 5]
I didn't know Him, But I played my part
For this purpose I came, Revealing in every heart
Baptizing with water, For this divine start
To be revealed to Israel, A work of art
[Verse 6]
I bore witness, Saw the sight
Spirit descended, Like a dove in flight
Remained on Him, A heavenly sign
Didn't know Him, But it all aligned
[Guitar solo]
[Verse 7]
He who sent me to baptize with water said
"To see the Spirit descend and remain, You'll know
He's the one who baptizes with the Holy Spirit
This is the Son of God, The truth I show."
[Chorus]
Sent from the Pharisees, they question my authority
But I'm here to testify, about the one they don't know
He's the Messiah, the truest desire
Let his love flow, let his grace overflow
[Outro]
This is the Son of God, I've seen and have borne witness
He came to save us all, With grace so limitless
That this is the Son of God, I've seen and have borne witness
He came to save us all, With grace so limitless
