Notes About The Poem

The Word Contained

The Word contained, inside the head
Available until we're old
Cherished within the heart as gold
Will bring us to heaven instead
Where those streets of gold are outspread
There Jesus, our Savior, Stronghold
The Word contained

With open arms, and side that bled
Draws into His embrace the soul 
That holds the Word within their mould
Deep in their being, love imbed
The Word contained    

New Living Bible

John 1: 1-5

1 In the beginning the Word already existed.
    The Word was with God,
    and the Word was God.
2 He existed in the beginning with God.
3 God created everything through him,
    and nothing was created except through him.
4 The Word gave life to everything that was created,[a]
    and his life brought light to everyone.
5 The light shines in the darkness,
    and the darkness can never extinguish it
