THE WORD BECAME FLESH

(God, Clothed In Human Flesh)

God has spoken through the ages

God has said, and it was so

He brought forth, as His creation

Every thing we see and know.

The greatest truth in all of history

Though it’s hard to understand

How the "Word" became a person

And walked this earth a lowly man.

In the fullness, and in God’s purpose

He sent forth His only Son

To bring to man, "so great salvation"

So we, in Him, could be as one.

Yea, the God of all creation,

Thus, He wanted us to know

That mankind is something special

For ‘twas He that made us so.

Sadly, since the fall of Adam

In the garden of paradise

Where man chose to disobey Him

At such an awesome, awesome, price.

But God came in human likeness

To a virgin, was born that day

Came to bring to us glad-tidings

In this humble, humble way.

So we look with awe and wonder

For He’s coming back again

Then we’ll be with him forever

In that blessed promise land.
