The Word with God, God was the Word
Always with God from origin
Everything was made through Him
Without Him nothing came to be
Not one thing that has come to be
In Him life was
And the life was
The light of all humanity
And the light shines in the darkness
Which the darkness could not possess
God sent a man whose name was John
To bear witness concerning one
To testify about the Light
That all through him believe alright
He was sent and was not that Light
Sent to bear witness of that Light
The true Light, every man lighting
Into the world He was coming
He was in the world, made through Him
The world He made did not know Him
Even His own rejected Him
But as many as received Him
Their right as God’s children became
To those who believe in His name
Not born of blood, nor fleshly thrill
But of God, not of human will
The Word became flesh and with us dwelled
And so His glory we beheld
Of the Father’s one and only
Full of grace and truth in glory
John bore witness and cried and said
“This was He of whom I had said
‘He who follows me is preferred
For long before me, He was heard.’”
Of His fullness we’ve all received
And even more gifts, grace for grace
The law was given through Moses
Grace and truth came through Christ Jesus
No one has seen God ever yet
The only one God did beget
In the Father’s intimate zone
He has come and made Him known
John 1:1-18
