We behold Him even now
Though we cannot comprehend
The fullness that His love bestowed
As He put on flesh for men
He put on thus, meek flesh for men
This One that Is, before Time was
Conceived, not of the will of them
But by the holy will of God
And by the holy will of God
He brought true light upon the earth
This true Light remains till now
As testament and Living Word
As testament and Living Word
Full of mercy, hope and grace
Moses law had never heard
A proclamation such as this
A proclamation such as this
Power to become His sons
Cleansed from all unrighteousness
Washed in the blood of heaven’s One
Washed in the blood of heaven’s One
His Light remains to lead the way
Word became flesh, God’s only Son
And we still have His Word today
We still have His word today
Darkness still cannot comprehend
But oh, to those who have believed
He dwells within the heart of them

I was reading John 1 this morning.
One of my favorite passages, not only at Christmas
But forever.
He is the True Light.
I’ve been pondering this True Light since I read Vivinfrance’s poem the other night.
Then Mary wrote about the mother Mary and as I thought of Mary's humility and acceptance of God’s word it convicted me. We have His word still, full of grace and truth and Light. He is the True Light.
Yes, indeed Jesus IS the true light. This is a favorite passage of mine too. In fact, it was the passage our minister preached on LAST Sunday!
