The Kingdom Of Heaven Is At Hand |
About the same time the Angel Gabriel came |
And told of another unusual birth |
The child would be a cousin of the Christ |
His name would be John |
And as he baptized he preached |
Make way for Jesus the kingdom of heaven is at hand |
Jesus walked that lonesome road to preach the gospel news |
But someone walked ahead to pave the way |
One who felt he wasn’t fit to carry Jesus' shoes |
A woolly man adorned in disarray |
A man who got his feet wet for the glory of the Lord |
John The Baptist was a chosen man |
His voice called from the wilderness a warning and the words |
The kingdom of heaven is at hand |
He must have made an awesome sight in clothes of camels hair |
Around his waist he wore a leather band |
Preachin' and baptizin' as he wondered here and there |
The kingdom of heaven is at hand |
The kingdom of heaven is at hand |
One day Jesus came to Jordan’s banks to be baptized |
John The Baptist tried to turn him down |
Lord I feel inadequate and then he emphasized |
It should be the other way around |
But John was soon convinced and he consented by and by |
It must be done to fulfill Gods command |
'Cause god was lookin' down on him and time was drawin' nigh |
The kingdom of heaven is at hand |
Livin' on wild honey and grasshoppers and the word |
He went to Jordan lookin' lean and tan |
Preachin' and baptizin' and the people came and heard |
The kingdom of heaven is at hand |
The kingdom of heaven is at hand |
The kingdom of heaven is at hand |
