The Word

In the beginning …
God spoke
into being
Ex nihilo
from nothing.
God’s breath
brought forth
the stars
the atoms
me.

The covenant
Word swept
through creation
and rebellion
empires
and kings.

His Word
sure and firm
whispers and roars
through time
and place
over sea and continent.

The Word
walked among us
and will come again
to reveal
a recreated kingdom
a world reborn
by the
Word.
