The beauty of YOUR Word it steals my breath from me

It opens wondrous vistas that my soul can see

I stand before YOU wordless, in awe of all YOU say

YOUR Word is full of power, bringing life from day to day

 

 

YOU have lifted high YOUR Word, above even YOUR Name

Those who embrace YOUR Word will never be the same

YOU spoke and out of nothingness created all we see

YOU Alone are GOD, who ever was and ever more will be

 

 

EMMANUEL, MESSIAH, The WORD in flesh are YOU

YOUR Word goes forth in power, YOUR will O LORD to do

Be it a whisper or a roar how YOUR Voice makes my heart soar

I thrill to hear YOU speak and I yearn to hear YOU more

 

 

YOUR Word reveals YOUR heart, the thoughts upon YOUR mind

The wonder of YOUR being, to those who it to their hearts bind

How I cherish every single syllable that YOU my LORD do utter

Falling from YOUR lips and melts me like a hot sun does to butter

 

 

 

 

 

thought for the journey ….

 

John 6:63 “It is The SPIRIT who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The Words that I speak to you are SPIRIT, and they are life.”

The transforming power of The Word of our GOD and SAVIOR - You can find yourself in impossible situations, with no way out and no way through, situations that threaten to swamp and swallow you whole - then HE speaks, and light invades the darkness, a way is made where there was no way, and life replaces death!

 

HIS word alone has the inherent power to wash us. HIS words can actually change us, and our lives. For the words ALMIGHTY GOD speaks are life - they not only contain life, they are life!   Hebrews 1:3 talks of CHRIST upholding all things by the word of HIS power. When HE speaks power and life erupt - HE is unparallelled and unsurpassed; SON of GOD, SON of Man, REDEEMER, SAVIOR, The WORD, EMMANUEL - GOD in flesh is HE!

 

Ephesians 5:26-27 “that HE might sanctify and cleanse her with the washing of water by the word, that HE might present her to HIMSELF a glorious church, not having spot or wrinkle or any such thing, but that she should be holy and without blemish.”

 

CHRIST - The WORD made flesh, “HE who lives, and was dead, and behold I AM alive forevermore! Amen.” (Revelation 1:18). Notice that HE is not “HE who was dead and lives” but HE who lives and was dead - for HE is Eternal GOD, WHO laid down HIS life and died for our sins and arose to give us HIS Eternal Life!

Revelation 19:13,16 “HE was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and HIS Name is called The WORD of GOD.” “And HE has on HIS robe and on HIS thigh a Name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.”

John 1:1,14a “In the beginning was The WORD and The WORD was with GOD, and The WORD was GOD.” “And The WORD became flesh and dwelt among us….”
