Wholesome Way

Tune & Hymn: 'Make way, make way'

Luke 3 v.4-6

********

John Baptist, voice of one crying

Words he does bring

In wilderness, he says , Prepare

All in this share

 

Chorus

Make the Lord's way (echo - Make the Lord's way)

Straight, level today (echo - Straight, level today)

Make the Lord's way (echo - Make the Lord's way)

Even, and watch and pray

 

Every valley it shall be filled

Pride, it be stilled

Every mountain, hill be brought low

It shall be so - Chorus

 

Crooked places shall be made straight

Delay not late

And the rough places be made smooth

Comforts shall soothe - Chorus

 

All flesh shall see the salvation

Every nation

Salvation of God, Christ His Son

The Promised One - Chorus

      There may be a book you can read d a, I am sure you may be able to find one somewhere, can’t remember it’s name though, I believe there are various versions and interpretations of it.

        Thanks dusk.
        It would have to be a Choir, or traditional church. Some places don't know what a hymn book is, only 'Choruses' on screen instead. One church did not sing any of my offerings, It was not where they were "at", I was informed. Not just because of that, but I've parted company with them now. I felt a bit 'what the f....'.Last word Fido won't let me say!
        They have a nerve. They had their own squabbles in their 'informal Choir'. A musician there, I cruelly refer to as 'Mad Matt'. He'll break that keyboard one day, hammering away at it'.
        You knows of JB! Starts with B..... (Bible) and a Concordance is handy too. In parts of the Gospels mainly.
