His name is John.
He will be the prophet we have been waiting for
the leader to tell the good news, that the Lord
the Christ, the Messiah is near!
What a revelation, what a reason to speak
what a marvelous occasion for celebration!
Spread the news, the silent have spoken
let the people rejoice!
The nations declare, the wait is over,
the Christ will come, the prophet
will prepare us, wait for us,
baptize us, make us clean,
ready to greet our Lord
and reap his goodness
