(By Rachel Joyce)
In the beginning, was the Word,
The Son of God
And God, Himself,
Giver of life and
Light of this dark world.
He said, “I, Jesus, am the bright
Morning Star.” And
He came to us,
Who sat in the shade
Of death’s cold shadow.
God’s tender mercy wrapped in flesh,
Dispelled darkness,
Exposed our sin,
And offered us life,
Forgiveness of sins.
He freed us from the chains that chafed,
Broke darkness’ power,
And shone His light
To show us the truth
And heal all our wounds.
For us, the Morning Star endured
Deepest blackness,
Abandonment,
Total sacrifice,
To redeem our hearts.
He chose us to be His children,
The Light-bearers,
Possessing the
Morning Star in our
Hearts and minds and souls.
And we, who have been so rescued,
So cherished and
Loved, now find our
Wonder and joy in
Our bright Morning Star.
