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!
