Please let me know if you would like to use this hymn and I will send you the words embedded in music. I suggest Kingsfold as the tune.

Are you the one who is to come
To turn the world around?
To heal the blind, the deaf, the dumb,
Transform the lost to found?
Are you the one, or must we wait,
Still captive, lame or poor?
Will you confront the unjust state
Or must we suffer more?

Are you the one?  What is your choice?
Soft robe or prophet stole?
God’s wilderness awaits your voice.
Will you fulfill your role?
Will you be one who will prepare
the way for Christ, like John?
Will you let Christ’s bold Spirit dare
To shine through you like dawn?

Are you the one, they once asked Christ.
Now Christ is asking you.
He loved, he served, he sacrificed.
What is it you will do?
Christ said, look how the blind now see,
They live who once were dead.
What captives will you work to free,
What world build here instead?
