In the desert a voice is crying
  Prepare the way for Messiahs 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
