Prepare

and make ready for what will be

----(the time has come)

make ready for the son of God

in the flesh

who long so to hear the news

who long so to see the doves

descending on the one

God sent

to save

Prepare

----(the Kingdom of God)

the way of the Lord

the one for whom the prophets foretold

the one for whom John foretold

has come

and had defeated the one

who would being death

----(is near)

the message is told

and the time is now new

time for the whole world to change

from what it was

----(Repent)

to what it is in Christ

New

and alive

God has loved the people

God has loved the nations

and sent

the one foretold

----(and believe)

who would save the people

from their sins

----(the Good News)
