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!
