In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God
And when the Word spoke, it was a good time to nod
When a sound left His lips, all things paused to hear
Then exclaim with delight as a new thing appeared
The Father and Son worked together in splendour
The Spirit was moving – they had an agenda
A love infused thought followed by a decree
No buttons to press, just the words “Let there be………”
The Heavens were born with a thought then a sound
They were put in their place and by laws they were bound
More words that emerged brought the universe forth
He spoke some things South and sent others up North
He thought of a sun and an orbiting rock
From the heart of His hearts He imagined a flock
With a light in His eyes, our loving God spoke
In His own mighty image, His children awoke
When His word comes to light, the outcome is sure
The Almighty declares it - there is no detour
Though Heaven and Earth may fall to decay
His word is eternal and won’t pass away
When we’d messed it all up and to start us afresh
He sent us His Son and The Word was made flesh
He spoke and He told us, He talked and He said
If you pick up the bible, it’s written in red
He told us of life as we run down the clock
Of our journey to Heaven, our stumbling blocks
Of a love that assures that we don’t walk alone
Of a pardoning grace that is calling us home
He gave us the handbook, His Spirit filled key
He taught us of love and of how to be free
He said not to let the deceiver persuade us
He used the same voice as He did when He made us
That wonder filled voice that tells stars how to burn
That power filled voice that makes galaxies turn
That wisdom filled voice that declares right from wrong
The voice of our God that sets angels to song
It’s a light to our path and a lamp to our feet
A word for all time and it’s still on the street
It cannot be twisted or changed or postponed
For if our God said it, then it's set in stone
