Story

Isaiah 40 is the cornerstone passage prophesied about the life and work of John the Baptist and in Luke’s gospel, the writer substitutes “And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed” with “the salvation of God” as a beautiful interpretation of the original Hebrew.

This song is meant to capture the joy of the recipients of John’s message of salvation and the lives which were changed by it – illustrated in the allegory of the mountains, hills, crooked and rough plain – all of whom were levelled out by the Lamb of God for whom John prepared them.
