This song is available on Blue Chair World's In the Hands of God.

(refrain)
Make straight in the desert a highway
And let every heart prepare him room
Here is our God the Lord of power and might
He has come to save us all!

Wake from your sleep lift your voice
Be glad and exult with all your heart!

(refrain)

The blind shall see, the deaf shall hear
A time will come when every heart will sing!

(refrain)

A shoot shall sprout from Jesse’s tree
And even the desert will bloom

(refrain)
