John the Baptist Prepares the Way(A)

“I will send my messenger ahead of you,
who will prepare your way”[c](C)—

‘Prepare the way for the Lord,
make straight paths for him.’”[d](D)
4 And so John the Baptist(E) appeared in the wilderness, preaching a baptism of repentance(F) for the forgiveness of sins.(G)
