John shouted
prepare the way
clear the road
and baptized the weary
so we can walk
hearts ablaze
into our King’s
light and glory.

“In those days John the Baptist came to the Judean wilderness and began preaching. His message was, ‘Repent of your sins and turn to God, for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.’ The prophet Isaiah was speaking of John when he said,
“He is a voice shouting in the wilderness,
‘Prepare the way for the Lord’s coming !
Clear the road for Him!’ “
Matthew 3:1-3
