(By Rachel Joyce)
In the beginning, was the Word,
The eternal Word, Maker of all,
With God and God Himself,
The Life and the life-giver
The Light and the light-bringer,
Who came for us.
The Word became man: true
Humanity and full divinity,
Melded into One, whose
Every thought, motive,
Action, and glance radiated
Pure truth and grace.
Truth to give us a secure
Foundation, a safe place
To stand, to grow, and thrive.
Grace to gentle our hearts
And empower our souls
To truly live.
Because we were born again
Through the Word of truth
To be children of light,
With our lives shining forth
His light, living out His life,
Embodying truth and grace.
