LRYICS:
In the days of Herod King of Judea
There was a priest named Zechariah
He had a wife, from the daughters of Aaron
Her name was Elizabeth, and she was barren.
They both served God through all their days,
Faithful hearts in quiet ways.
They longed for a baby for many years,
Their hope seemed lost through silent tears.
One day Zechariah stood to pray, Chosen to serve in a holy way. Inside the temple, incense rose, And there an angel stoodâGod knows!
âDonât be afraid,â the angel said, âYour prayerâs been heard, lift up your head! Your wife will bear a promised son, To turn hearts back to God, the One.â
Zechariah said, âHow can this be? Weâre old, our strength is gone, you see.â The angel spoke, âYou will be mute, Till all comes trueâGodâs word is truth.â
When he stepped out, he could not speak, But faith was growing, week by week.
Nine months later, joy rang clear,
âThe Lord has given life this year!
The neighbors said, âName your Son!â And Zechariah wrote firmly, âHis name is John.â His voice came back and he started to sing:
Blessed be the Lord Most High,
He keeps His word, He hears our cry!
He sends the Savior, light will dawn,
Our darkness fades, our fear is gone!
âThe silence broke, the baby grew,
John prepared the way â and Jesus came through.
Godâs promised Savior, born at last,
What God says will come to pass.
Every promise made will last.
