Prepared People

orchidee



Tune: Merton

('Hark a thrilling [or herald] voice is sounding')

Luke 3 v.4-6

*********

John Baptist fulfilled prophecy

Of Isaiah, here now see

For he be the voice of one who

Cries, Repentant deeds now do

 

Voice of one in the wilderness

He a prophet we confess

Saying, Prepare way of the Lord

Attend to Him, hear His word

 

Make His path straight, every valley

Shall be filled, every hill be

With every mountain be brought low

Crooked made straight, shall be so

 

And the rough places shall be made

Smooth, all ready, all displayed

And all flesh shall see in the time

God's salvation in life's rhyme

      Dear Orchi, how many voices have been heard and unheeded. We do seem to have an impediment of hearing but not listening. Keep us on the straight and narrow my friend.

          Do you feel the drumbeat thumping in the distance? Soon the trumpet shall be blowing! On the cloud the only worthy one descending.
