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's hoped 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 till the day 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
baptize you with water is all I know.
There stands one among you, and it's He I came to show.
I'm just a cry, but He will end the kingdom of the liar.
He will baptize 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.
