In the desert a voice is crying
Prepare the way, for Messiah's coming
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall

By the banks of the Jordan, he was waiting
For the sign of the one who would surely come
When he heard what the thunder now was saying
It was clear this must be the chosen one

The deaf will hear and the dumb will talk
The blind will see and the lame will walk
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall

He came gently and stepped down into the water
With the light of the Father in His face
Son of God, He had been since the beginning

Now as son of man, Jesus took His place
A stone that makes men stumble
And a rock that makes them fall
