The Word Became Flesh

The Word Became Flesh

2019

Inspired by a poem by Daniel Partner/Debbie Zepick

When days are cold and grey and short and nights grow so long

Cause me God, to sing this song

The Word became flesh

When friends and loves and lives can’t know my pain, my doubt, my fear

Open up my ears and let me hear: 

The Word, the Word became flesh

Chorus

The Word as flesh, a babe, a child, a man, a man of sorrows

God with us, with dusty feet, servant King

Acquainted with grief

Instrumental verse

When heart and will and thought would stray, presume you are far away

Let me touch the truth and say:

The Word, the Word  became flesh

The Word as flesh, a babe, a child, a man of sorrows

Acquainted with grief, acquainted with grief

Since Word and flesh and life were one to show the world your love

Lift human eyes to see above:

The Word, the Word  became flesh.
