lyrics

Build up
Prepare the road
Remove all the obstacles out of the way of my people
For this is what
the high and lofty One says
He who lives forever whose name is Holy
I live in a high and holy place
But also with him who is crushed and low in spirit
To revive the spirit of the lowly
And to revive the heart of the crushed
I will not accuse forever
Nor will I always be angry
For then the spirit of man would grow faint before me
The breath of man that I have created
I was enraged by all his sinful greed, so I punished him and hid my face in anger
Yet he kept on in his willful ways
I have seen his ways but I will heal him
I will guide him and restore comfort to him
Creating praise on the lips of the mourners
I’ve created praise on the lips of the mourners
