Prepare for the King

Prepare for the King

By Amanda Pizzolatto

 

It began with a prophecy uttered long ago

Bringing hope to a people that fell from grace

That the Son of God would come to Earth 

And not only show us His heavenly Face

But also offer Himself up for our sins 

So the Heavenly gates would open to the human race

 

But first He would come to us

As nothing more than a little baby

And prophets foretold that His place of birth 

Would be in Bethlehem, there was no maybe

 The greatest Love would come to Earth

Born of a pure and virginal lady

 

Rejoice, rejoice, for He is on His way

The voice in the wilderness is crying out

Make straight the way of the Lord

For He is near, there is no doubt

And shepherds who watched their flock that night

Get the joyous news first from a choral shout

 

Peace on Earth to men of goodwill

Is the chorus the choir of angels sing

Your God and Savior is nearby

Stop what you are doing, drop everything

Only concentrate on being prepared

And be on your way to see the newborn King
