THE WORD BECAME FLESH
The Word became flesh and lived for a while
In a world plagued with sorrow and sin.
The magnificent Son – the most Holy One
Was determined the plague had to end.
***
The Word became flesh as the Father revealed
All His love in the life of His Son.
His manifest grace must have felt out of place
When He saw what the devil had done.
(Refrain)
The Word became flesh as God testified
To the truth that had never been heard.
The Savior appeared, God spoke loud and clear
Through the voice of His Incarnate Word.
The Word became flesh as the Father set forth
To give freedom to all who were bound.
Hope was restored, though God’s Word was ignored
When a cross took the place of a crown.
***
The Word became flesh leaving heaven behind
Giving up all the honor He had.
“Abba Father” He cried as He suffered and died
“I now know what makes You so mad.”
(Refrain)
