Man on a Mission

My name is John
I am the fruit of a promise
From an angel to my father Zechariah
I am a man
A man on a mission
A holy purpose given before I was conceived
Proclaiming repentance
Forgiveness of sin
A voice of one crying in the wilderness

Prepare the way
Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord
Prepare the way of the Lord

Elizabeth, my mother
Loved to tell the story
Of when she heard the voice
Of the mother of her Lord
Mary came to visit
She was with child
Filled with the Spirit my mother proclaimed
Blessed are you among women
Blessed is the fruit of your womb
When my ear heard your greeting
My baby leapt for joy

Prepare the way
Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord
Prepare the way of the Lord

My name is John
I am not the Christ
The strap of his sandal I'm not worthy to untie
I baptize with water
A symbol of repentance
He will baptize with the Spirit and with fire
The sunrise is coming
A light in the darkness
He is the long awaited Messiah

Prepare the way
Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord

Every valley shall be filled
Every mountain and hill
They shall be made low
The crooked shall be straight
Rough places will be level ways
All flesh will see God's salvation

Prepare the way
Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord

Prepare the way
Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord

Prepare the way
Prepare the way
Prepare the way of the Lord
Prepare the way of the Lord
