09. Make Straight The Way

On the third day of my lord,

There came about the stone cold hearts of men

“draw out now” out with the blood and come forth the good wine

I came to you as a beggar,

when the night fell down my house

Take my word, and leave this ground – your faith will suffice

I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness

By the grace of god you’ll see greater things before this curtain

Make way, make straight the way of the lord

I spent my life withering by the lake,

Praying for the season of the angel

my body gave out - still I wait; the flood won’t answer your prayer

They all came out and sat in wonder

Over the green grass up on the hill

The day was come, he was a king shying from the crown

I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness

By the grace of god you’ll see greater things before this curtain

Make way, make straight the way of the lord

He found them toiling in the waves,

Lost with fear and weary eyes

Now you’re adrift hoping my hands will carry you back

‘twas not the sin of the mother

‘twas not the sin of the father

That made the light your foe. Oh believe, darkness has an end

Rise up my little girl

Come forth my dear friend

Time has come to reclaim my crown

I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness

By the grace of god you’ll see greater things before the curtain falls down

Make way, make straight the way of the lord

Make way, make straight the way of the lord
