Scripture reference

A voice cries: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD;
make straight in the desert a highway for our God." (Isaiah 40:3)

Words

1. In days of Pharoah's reign supreme
The faithful followed God's commands;
They were prepared to be redeemed
From Pharoah's unrelenting hand.

Chorus: As faithful children of the King
We must prepare to run the race,
Obeying Him in everything,
Continuing to trust His grace.

2. In days of darkness came a beam;
John called his faithful countrymen.
They were prepared to be redeemed
From Satan's wicked pow'r of sin.

3. Now ev'ry week we can partake,
Preparing to remember Christ;
The cup we drink, the bread we break
Remind us of His sacrifice.

4. And when someday this life is o'er,
'Twill be a day of joyfulness;
We'll be prepared for heaven's shore --
A gift of God's own faithfulness.
