< Verse >
John the Baptist come preaching
In the wilderness of Jordan
Saying to repent the kingdom of
heaven is at hand
The prophet Isaiah spoke it
Crying in the wilderness
Prepare ye the way make straight
paths for the Lord
< Chorus
2X >
Come and go with me won’t you follow
in their footsteps
Be baptized too in the name of
the Lord
< Verse >
The people come out from
Jerusalem
And round about Jordan
Confessing their sins to be
baptized by John
Then come Jesus yes he did
Fulfilling all the scriptures
Being baptized too even God’s own
son
< Chorus 2X
>
< Verse >
Jesus come up from the water
The heavens were all opened
Spirit of God descending like a
dove
Resting on Him that Holy Spirit
There came a voice from heaven
You all hear him this is my
beloved Son
< Repeat
Chorus 2X >
