Behold the Word (Very God of Very God)

Naomi and I wrote this carol to reflect on the mystery that the Word of God became flesh and dwelt among us in Christ Jesus (John 1.14). For us and for our salvation, God's creating, sustaining, and redeeming Word became a tiny infant in Bethlehem–fully human yet, as the Nicene Creed declares, "Light of Light" and "very God of very God."
