In the Beginning was the Word

In the beginning was the Word.

God spoke his Word through

Abraham and Moses,

Deborah and Hannah,

Samuel and David,

Isaiah, Zechariah.

It is written. It is written.

And the Word became flesh.

God spoke his Word through

Mary and Elizabeth,

Simeon and Anna,

Peter and Paul,

Matthew and Johanna,

It is written. It is written.

God speaks his Word in

Urdu and Tamil,

Xhosa and Hausa,

Spanish and English,

Mandarin and Maori.

It is read. It is read.

In the beginning was the Word.

And the Word became flesh.

It is written. It is read.

It is old. It is new.

It is God’s. It is true.
