Lyrics

His Name Is John (Zacharias’ Song)
Prologue:
I did not believe that I would have a son
So the angel Gabriel struck me dumb
When my boy was circumcised God loosed my tongue
The words poured out like ocean waves
about what God had done
On the page I had written what the angel named my son…

CHORUS:
His name is John, herald of the Holy One
He’ll turn the hearts of the fathers to their children
and the rebels, turn us unto wisdom
Make ready a people prepared for the Lord to come
His name is John, oh

VERSE 1:
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel
For He has visited and redeemed His people
and raised up a horn of salvation
for us, He loved us that much!
From the house of His servant David
as He spoke by the mouth of His prophets
to show the mercy He had promised
Bring us to repentance
Hear the voice crying in the wilderness, crying in the wilderness oh

CHORUS
VERSE 2:
And you, child, will be the prophet of the Most High
Go before the Lord to prepare His ways
Make known salvation to His people
to us, He loved us that much!
Oh the tender mercy of our God whereby
the sunrise shall visit us from on high
A light to those who sit in darknessBring us to repentance Hear the voice crying in the wilderness, crying in the wilderness, oh
CHORUS
