In The Beginning Was The Word

In the beginning was The Word 

And The Word was with God.

And since The Word was in the beginning

And The Word was with God,

Then The Word is our Foundation, 

Our underpinning.

The Word was the means by which we were created,

So let all things be spoken of 

And argued and debated. 

In the beginning was The Word

And The Word is in the end

And God used The Word

Both to console and to offend.

And loving the world

He made not The Word mince 

But sent His Son, to use it wisely, 

To persuade and convince.
