I hear the voice of one crying,
Dmaj7
I hear the voice of one crying,
G D
prepare ye, prepare ye the way of the Lord.

I hear the voice of one crying,
Dmaj7
I hear the voice of one crying,
G D
prepare ye, prepare ye the way of the Lord.
G D
And make His path straight, make straight His path in the wilderness
G D
And let your light shine, let it shine in the darkness
G D
And let your rain fall, let it fall in this desert place.

D G A
Sure as gold is precious and the honey sweet,
D G D
so You love this city and you love these streets.
G A
Ev'ry child out playing by its own front door,
D G D
ev'ry baby laying on the bedroom floor.
G A
Ev'ry dreamer dreaming in their dead-end job,
D G D
ev'ry driver driving through the rush-hour mob.
G A
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones,
D G D
You're gonna send revival, bring 'em all back home.
D G A D
I can hear that thunder in the distance,
G A Bm
like a train on the edge of the town,
G A Bm
I can feel the brooding of Your Spirit,
G A Bm G A D
lay your burdens down, lay your burdens down.
(verse 2)
D G A
From the preacher preaching when the well is dry,
D G D
to the lost soul reaching for a higher high.
G A
From the young man working through his hopes and fears
D G D
to the widow walking through the vale of tears.
G A
Ev'ry man and woman ev'ry old and young,
D G D
ev'ry father's daughter, ev'ry mother's son.
G A
I feel it in my spirit, feel it in my bones,
D G D
You're gonna send revival, bring 'em all back home.
Chorus
D Bm G D
