I hear the voice of one crying
I hear the voice of one crying, prepare ye
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
I hear the voice of one crying
I hear the voice of one crying, prepare ye
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Make His paths straight
Make straight His paths in the wilderness
Let his light shine
Let his light shine in the darkness
Let your rain fall
Let your rain fall in the desert
I hear the voice of one crying
I hear the voice of one crying, prepare ye
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
As sure as gold is precious and the honey sweet
So you love this city and you love these streets.
Every child out playing by their own front door
Every baby laying on the bedroom floor.
Every dreamer dreaming in her dead-end job
Every driver driving through the rush hour mob
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival, bring them all back home
I can hear that thunder in the distance
Like a train on the edge of town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
"Lay your burdens down, Lay your burdens down".
From the Preacher preaching when the well is dry
To the lost soul reaching for a higher high
From the young man working through his hopes and fears
To the widow walking through the veil of tears
Every man and woman, every old and young
Every fathers daughter, every mothers son.
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones
You're going to send revival, bring them all back home
I can hear that thunder in the distance
Like a train on the edge of town
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit
"Lay your burdens down, Lay your burdens down".
Revive us, Revive us,
Revive us with your fire!
Revive us, Revive us,
Revive us with your fire!
