Why am I following this Rabbi ‘cross the land,
When I could be somewhere else?
Perhaps it’s curiosity, telling me
To see it for myself

But as I’m following, I cannot understand
How it really fits together
The targets of His woes and blessings seem to flow,
And change just like the weather;
He changes like the weather

Turn to the words of life eternal,
Learn to trust the Speaker
Search if you must, but cling to
The Voice you heard, and find your healing

I got up from the banquet meal,
Ran away from my enemies.
Rejected the anointing that heals
Pushed away the joy You had for me

Chorus:
But through the darkness I see Your light
Your loving kindness and mercy bright
Will follow me for all my life
You’ll keep on searching
To take me home with You one more time
To take me home with You one more time

Chorus:
Make straight the way
Make straight the way
Make straight the way for the Lord

John Baptizer preaching at the Jordan River
“Repent and rise and all your sins will be forgiven
Turn towards God, and from your evil ways."

Religious bigwigs asking “Who you think you are
Messiah, Elijah, a prophet even more bizarre
What do you do to fill up your desert days?

How many times?
How many days to walk this secret mission,
To stumble in the dark, praying for vision?
To strain with every step, trying to listen...

How many times?
How often must my heart suddenly shatter,
To wait for unseen Hands to piece together
This puzzle that no longer seems to matter

Chorus:
The sky is burned black, but the starlight persists
I cannot turn back,
When I've seen the morning follow so many nights like this
Oh, I've seen the morning follow so many nights like this...

I am the greatness, it is I upon the throne;
I throw down pretenders, it is I and I alone
I sift out the riff-raff, then I smash them like a stone;
I am the greatness, I and I alone
I am the greatness, I and I alone
