MAKE WAY FOR THE KING OF KINGS
When a king would come to town,
Servants smoothed the roads down,
Removed all obstacles before the day
The king’s caravan came that way.
John the Baptist was sent to prepare
The path before Jesus with care,
But the pathway he made for this King
Was the hearts of people he’d bring
To a realization of their needs.
He would plant in them the seeds
Of repentance for remittance of sin,
Symbolically baptizing them.
When the King arrived on the scene,
John the Baptist His praises did sing,
“Behold the Lamb God!” he cried
Foreshadowing that this King would die
To bring salvation to who all who
believe,
Who by God’s grace the Spirit receive.
