The Word
The Word
by Todd L. Dias
It is written
That in the beginning was the Word
A Name above all names,
To be sure it is a miracle that we speak
(though sometimes we do so mindlessly)
But how can human words compare to the Divine Word?
Human words disclose,
naming what they encounter.
Like Hadu’i walking the world
claiming ownership.
we call the mountain,
and the forests and seas as well,
to yield to us,
but it is the Word who spoke all things into being
and it is this power alone that can move the mountain,
breaking the noses of the arrogant.
Human words disclose Being and beings there within
But The Word reveals God Himself
something beyond Being.
Beyond but by no means alien to it
Humbly and majestically,
The Word took on flesh
The miracle of an Emmanuel God
Humility and suffering freely accepted
Vulnerable but unconquerable,
He lived, died, and rose again.
Like infants in their first precarious steps,
we stumbled and fell away from our loving Abba
When we were held for ransom by Satan’s horde
The Word came as an emissary of light
to occupied territory,
the shadowy lands of our hearts,
to pay the ultimate price
Dying to set us free.

to celebrate in our souls, not in the Dollar store. The voice of God so well expressed by a poet's words.
