Lyrics Introduction - Johnny Cash

These words were spoken centuries before Jesus
By the prophet Isaiah and down these paths have passed the feet of many
Leaving footprints victim to the wind for the sands of time to cover
Only to make place for another footstep to fall
And upon the promise of the prophets, many generations look for
The coming of the prince of peace, the Messiah
And many have come saying, "I am the one, it is I they speak of, it is I"
And many have gone a short-lived deserved promise to fulfill
These timeless prophecies, but one came by that wasn't forgotten
Never a man spoke like this man, never a man did the things on this earth
That this man did, and his words were as beautiful as his miracles
To many believers their life's desire is to be baptized in the Jordan river
As Jesus was, they kneel at the holy places, places that are holy simply
Because Jesus was there, they walk the way of the cross
They shout, "Praise the Lord" and they mean it
