Lyrics

A voice cried out in the wilderness
Ready the way of the Lord
John cried out in the wilderness
Ready to the way of the Lord

I know Him not nor when He shall come
But I know He’s the chosen one
Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand
Ready the way of the Lord

Jerusalem and all of Judea
Ready the way of the Lord
All of the region went out to him
Ready the way of the Lord

John baptized in the Jordon, from dawn til moon
To forerun the master who’s coming is soon
Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand
Ready the way of the Lord

He who follows after me
Ready the way of the Lord
Is mightier than I will ever ever be
Ready the way of the lord

He will baptize with fire and spirit
He is God’s word and you shall hear it
Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand
Ready the way of the Lord

A voice cried out in the wilderness
Ready the way of the Lord
Make straight in the desert a highway for God
Ready the way of the Lord

John preached repentance forgiveness of sin
Preparing the path for our Lord to walk in
Repent for the Kingdom of God is at hand
Ready the way of the Lord
Ready the way of the Lord
Ready the way of the Lord
