Lyrics
I went down where the river runs
Searching for the Holy One
There he stood beneath the sky
Fire and mercy in his eyes
Every word fell like the rain
Calling hearts to rise again
In the desert came the sound
"Turn around - the Lord is now"
A voice was rising through the wild
Hope was breaking through the night
Every mountain bowed low
Make ready for the Lord
Make straight the way, lift every eye
Salvation's dawn is shining nigh
The Lamb of God, the Holy One
The King of grace, the Father's Son
He must rise, I will grow small
Mercy came to save us all
Prepare the way, let heaven sing
Jesus Christ, our living King
Before his breath had touched the earth
Grace had called his holy birth
Set apart to bear the flame
Sent ahead to praise the Name
Jordan carried every word
Hearts awakened as they heard
Chains were breaking at the sound
The kingdom now had come
Make straight the way, lift every eye
Salvation's dawn is shining nigh
The Lamb of God, the Holy One
The King of grace, the Father's Son
He must rise, I will grow small
Mercy came to save us all
Prepare the way, let heaven sing
Jesus Christ, our living King
Then Jesus stepped into the tide
Heaven standing by his side
John looked up and knew the hour
Love had come in power now
When He rose, the skies broke wide
Spirit falling like living light
And the Father's voice came near
"This is My beloved Son"
Let every valley rise tonight
Let every heart come back to life
The King is here, the King is here
His glory fills the atmosphere
Let every chain fall to the ground
Let every lost soul hear the sound
The Lamb has come, the Lamb has won
