Proclamations – Lyrics
There was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
And the Word came down and He walked and He breathed and He dwelt among us
He had made the world and He loved the world, but the world knew him not
There was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God
Alleluia
Make straight the way of the Lord
Hosanna
This is the day of the Lord
And there were shepherds in the region, keeping wacth on their flocks by night
And an angel of the Lord appeared in the midst of a glory light
And said “Behold I bring good news of a joy of a Savior born this day”
And A multitude of the heavenly host appeared and they did praise
Alleluia
Peace on earth
Hosanna
Jesus’ birth
And there was a man, a man of God called John the Baptist
He said “I am the voice of one crying in the wilderness”
He said “Make straight the way, prepare the paths of the Lord”
“I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God”
Alleluia
Make straight the way of the Lord
Hosanna
Behold the Lamb of God
And when the time had come for the Son of God to return to Jerusalem
They laid their coats and branches on the road before Him
On down the Mount of Olives the whole multitude rejoiced
Praising God for all His mighty works with one loud voice
Alleluia
Make straight the way of the Lord
Hosanna
This is the day of the Lord
He was the Light, in Him was life and that life was the light of men
And that light shone in the darkness and the darkness did not win
And though the One who dwelt among us had to go back home again
He is the Light, in Him is life and that light is the light of men…
(women… girls… and boys)
Now it’s been two thousand years between then, and me and you
And there’s been a lot of twists and turns, but the Light’s come shining through
Now we can be the multitude, the ones to so proclaim
To lay our coats and branches down and praise His Holy name
Alleluia
Make straight the way of the Lord
Hosanna
This is the day of the Lord
