The Word

The Holy One Whom those reborn turn toward
gives joy, hope, life eternal, and His grace
when with hearts contrite they kneel before the Lord.

All souls with faith will feel the Lord’s embrace
because His power and His boundless love
will save the ones who’ll one day see His face.

Our suffering and grief are a few of
the things which can be healed by God’s pure lamb
upon Whom fell the Spirit like a dove.

Believe in Jesus, for His truth’s no sham.
He's the Word who said, “I AM WHO I AM.”
