The Word - John 1

The Word - John 1 [Verse 1] In the beginning was the Word, a truth that's strong and bright With God, the light that guides the way, through every darkened night All things were made through Him, the breath that sparked the dawn Without His light, there'd be no life, no moment to be drawn [Chorus] In Him was the life, the light of men, it shines so clear Lighting up the darkest paths, dispelling every fear Oh, the Word became flesh, beauty from above Grace and truth in every breath, a testament of love [Verse 2] There was a voice, a man named John, sent forth to share the light He came to witness for the truth, bringing darkness into sight Not the light, but pointing to the one who came to save Through Him, all might believe and find the grace they crave [Pre-Chorus] In the world, He walked alone, a treasure poured out on men But those who called upon His name, were born again in Him [Chorus] In Him was the life, the light of men, it shines so clear Lighting up the darkest paths, dispelling every fear Oh, the Word became flesh, beauty from above Grace and truth in every breath, a testament of love [Bridge] John cried out to those in need, “Behold the One to come!” He came in glory, full of grace, the Father’s only Son In His fullness, we’ve all received, as mercy pours like rain From the law to grace, we find our way, in Jesus' name [Outro] No one has seen God, but the Son, in Him we find our home The love that covers all our sin, we’re never more alone In the beginning was the Word, forever our delight The Word became flesh for us and guides us through the night [Written and arranged by Russell Barton]
