Lyrics
VERSE 1
Zachariah stood before His God and pleaded His shame
An angel answered, you shall bear a son, John will be his name, He will
CHORUS
Prepare the way of the Lord, Straighten the road
Prepare the way of the Lord, So that all may know our God's salvation
VERSE 2

He was silenced for his disbelief, this was how he would know
BRIDGE
Until the day that the child came
People gathered around, they were flirting with names
He said, "His name is John, he is God's gift
His name is John and he is God's gift, he will
