“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.” (John 1:1)
Listen! Do you hear?
The Word of God so dear
Speaks in hushed and holy tones
Amid space-less, timeless zones
Where only Two can hear.
Listen! Do you hear?
The Word of God so dear
Is speaking worlds into being
Nothingness now is fleeing
From stars and trees and deer.
Listen! Do you hear?
The Word of God so clear
Is spurned and doubted
By man and wife is flouted
Plunging into death and fear.
Listen! Do you hear?
The Word of God so clear
Is speaking now in flesh
And laid in holy creche
God now shedding infant’s tear.
Listen! Do you hear?
The Word of God so dear
Silenced now upon a cross
Suffering infinite loss
As He our sins does bear.
Listen! Do you hear?
The Word of God so clear
Speaks with trumpet’s victory sound
Empty is tomb’s lifeless ground
As triumph now comes near.
