The Word

Words can be a treasure, each with its own meaning.
Some can bring great pleasure, though some words are demeaning.
Words are used each day by every race and creed.
They can say just what you want, or tell just what you need.
Words are used in happy times, or when life¿s sorrow falls.
There really aren't so many times when words aren't used at all.
Words can bring great comfort in the storms of life.
But the word so often overlooked is the word that's Jesus Christ.
Jesus is the Word of God, his righteousness fulfilled.
The word made flesh came to this world to do his Fathers will.
By the word was sickness healed, by the word men raised from death.
By the power of Gods Holy Word does each man draw his breath.
This Word so oft forgotten paid for the sins of man.
This Gentle Word of solid rock, a place for all to stand.
