Just The Voice Poem by Loyd C Taylor Sr

He came preaching! He came preparing!
He came pointing men to Christ.
He came prophesying! He came baptizing!
He came bringing men to Christ.

He appeared in the wilderness,
answering the heavenly call.
He claimed no earthly honor,
He was just the voice, that's all!

He denied he was the Messiah,
or prophet Elijah of old!
He was loud, he was different,
He spoke truth in words so bold!

He came preaching! He came preparing!
He came pointing men to Christ.
He came prophesying! He came baptizing!
He came bringing men to Christ.

He cried, 'Make straight the way of the Lord,
and take stock of all you do! '
He cried, 'Repent, God's kingdom is near
And salvation is here for you! '

He cried, 'Fill those sinking valleys
and bring those mountains low.
Make straight the crooked paths
and smooth rough places you go.'

He came preaching! He came preparing!
He came pointing men to Christ.
He came prophesying! He came baptizing!
He came bringing men to Christ.
