Prepare The Way

I am not the one who is to come
Nor am I Elijah, for that day is yet undone
But after me comes the man that every prophet spoke to see
And he has always been, before I ever came to be
I’m just a cry in the wilderness
A plea in the wilderness
Just a voice alone in the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
All my life is meant for just this end
To tell the nation of the man on whom God’s Spirit will descend
This is the one, God’s holy and anointed only son
This will be the message 'til it has been done
I’m just a cry in the wilderness
A plea in the wilderness
Just a voice alone in the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
Let every hill and mountain be brought down
Make the valleys and the canyons level ground
Let every crooked life be turned around
Prepare the way for the Lord
To baptise you with water is all I know
There stands one among you, and it’s he I came to show
I’m just the crier
But he will end the kingdom of the liar
He will baptise you into his Spirit and his fire
I’m just a cry in the wilderness
A plea in the wilderness
Just a voice alone in the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
I’m just a cry in the wilderness
A plea in the wilderness
Just a voice alone in the wilderness
Prepare the way for the Lord
Prepare the way for the Lord
Prepare the way for the Lord
