Over the past few weeks I posted segments of the introduction to my book, I AM, Poetic Reflections Through The Gospel of John, so I thought I would post several poems from the book. This is the first poem in the collection.
THE WORD
John 1:1
“In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
In the beginning, from before the beginning
There was God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
In perfect union, eternal love communing.
He spoke His grace before human ears could hear it.
He sent His Son, the Word from all eternity,
The fullness of the God-head in maternity.
God spoke the light. He spoke all life. He spoke Himself.
He spoke the whirling spheres and vast expanse to be.
He spoke the skies and seas and earth with all its wealth.
He formed the world and all in it that lives and breathes.
Every molecule knows the wisdom of His heart,
The plants and living creatures bear His mark.
He spoke His Son. He spoke to men. He spoke to me.
For in His time the Holy One to earth has come.
And in His love He spoke the cross eternally.
From the beginning was His plan, His grace, His Son.
The wonder of His love the world has seen and heard,
As God declared, “In the beginning was the Word.”
This poem can be found in this 2nd edition of I AM, Poetic Reflections Through The Gospel of John.
