In John 1, Jesus is named the Word. Verse 1: "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God." These words and others from the chapter along with a chorus I'd written years ago, became the song you'll hear today. I hope its lyrics will help you celebrate the coming of the Light of the World.
The Light Breaks Forth
Verse 1:
The Word who was before the world
The Word who was with God
That Word was born in a cattle stall
And all the heavens rang
Chorus 1:
The Light breaks forth from the darkness
The Life bursts out of the grave
The Word spins out of the mouth of God
And all creation gives praise!
Verse 2:
The Light who came into the world
The Light who made men see
That Light revealed the love of God
For cursed humanity
Verse 3:
The Life who died upon the cross
The Life who paid for sin
That Life endured both pain and loss
And then he rose again
