Thanks To God Whose Word Was Spoken

 

"In the beginning, before all time, was the Word,
Christ, and the Word was with God, and the Word
was God Himself."
John 1:1

Thanks to God whose Word was spoken

In the deed that made the earth.

His the Voice that called a nation;

His fires that have tried her worth.

God has spoken; God has spoken;

Praise Him for His open Word.

Thanks to God whose Word Incarnate

Glorified the flesh of man.

Deeds and words and death and rising

Tell the grace in heaven's plan.

God has spoken; God has spoken;

Praise Him for His open Word.

Thanks to God whose Word is answered

By the Spirit's voice within.

Here we drink of joy unmeasured,

Life redeemed from death and sin.

God is speaking; God is speaking;

Praise Him for His open Word.

Amen.
