Day 8 - 9th March: What a beautiful name

---

John 1:1, 14
Before the world began, the Word was there. The Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The Word became a man and lived among us. We saw his divine greatness—the greatness that belongs to the only Son of the Father. The Word was full of grace and truth.

​Steve writes: This is a beautiful song full of striking imagery to make you stop and THINK! The tune is meditative but builds to a powerful crescendo of praise.

Beginning at the beginning with God's hidden Word, the song reveals this to be Jesus Himself and celebrates the power of His name (which means Saviour of course).  It starts with Creation and takes us through Jesus' death to the silence of the grave and on to the "roaring" heavens.  It's quite the tour de force!

But the line that won't leave me is, You didn't want heaven without us so Jesus You brought heaven down.  The bluntness of the words are shocking  - and the truth revealed is the greatest truth that can be revealed, which is also shocking.  God loves us so much He wants us to spend eternity with Him and He was willing to pay any price to accomplish that.  The price was the death of His Son.  As a father and grandfather, words fail me to express such love....
