In the beginning was the Word
God said, "Let there be light"
He called each star by name
To their places in the night
Through Him all things were made
The heavens and the earth
In Him is Life and Light
All He made was of good worth
In God's image He created us
To be good stewards of His garden
As rebellion slithered in
Our hearts began to harden
God graciously attended to
His now fallen creation
With blood and sacrifice
He worked, for our restoration
He spoke to us through priests
And prophets and the law
Then the glory of the Father,
We bore witness to and saw
When the Word became flesh
And dwelt among us
In His gracious and true Son,
Christ Jesus
Behold, the Lamb of God
Proclaims, "Come and see"
He calls us each by name
Into a new identity
To shine and reflect
The light of our King
And with the morning stars
Rejoice in Him, and sing
