Lyrics
(Verse 1)
In the wilderness, a voice was heard,
John the Baptist, chosen by the Word.
Bearing witness to the coming King,
Proclaiming the message that all should sing.
(Chorus)
Prepare the way, the Lamb of God draws near,
Behold the Savior, His presence they revere.
(Verse 2)
A voice crying out, in the wilderness land,
Repent and believe, for the Savior's grand stand.
Baptizing in the Jordan, sins washed away,
Pointing to Jesus, the Truth and the Way.
(Chorus)
Prepare the way, the Lamb of God draws near,
Behold the Savior, His presence they revere.
(Bridge)
In the waters of baptism, the Spirit descends,
Jesus, the Son, His mission begins.
Proclaiming the Good News, with zeal and might,
John the Baptist, a beacon of light.
(Verse 3)
In Herod's palace, a plot was laid,
Herodias' scheme, his fate portrayed.
Faithful to the truth, he stood his ground,
For righteousness' sake, his life was bound.
(Chorus)
Prepare the way, the Lamb of God draws near,
Behold the Savior, His presence they revere.
(Verse 4)
A martyr's crown, a life laid down,
For the Gospel truth, he stood his ground.
In death, victory found, in Christ's embrace,
John the Baptist, herald of grace.
(Outro)
In the wilderness' cry, in the river's flow,
John the Baptist's legacy, they come to know.
Prepare the way, for the Savior's call,
In Jesus Christ, their hope stands tall.
