Grace and Truth

For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.

John 1:16-17

So long ago

from Sinai’s plateau

in thunder and flame

God’s Law came

from God’s throne

written in stone

Moses delivered

while Israel shivered

fear and terror

corrected their error

Truth from the Lord

and His powerful holy Word

Grace then, and yet to come

in a Promised One.

Through centuries of pain

on Bethlehem’s plain

into a manger

born into danger

Jesus left heaven’s throne

to make earth His home

Grace did finally arrive

so that truth could thrive

death would lose

for all who would choose

to follow this Savior

Who changes behavior

for Jesus is Lord

the Living Word

Grace and Truth have come

in God’s only Son!
