PART ONE: THE WORD
In the beginning was the Word. And the word was with God. And the Word
was God.
PART TWO: THE HOUR
Await the hour. Await the hour. Await the hour. Await the hour
It has not come. It has not come.
It has been written, it has been written. It has been written. It has
been written.
The hour.
And Jesus answered, the time has come for the Son of God to be glorified
My soul is troubled. What shall I say? Father, save me from this hour.
The hour has come. The hour has come.
PART THREE: THE CHILDREN OF MINE
In the darkest light, you can see me. In the darkest light you will need
me. If the Word is light, and the light is Word, then you understand.
For I can see you. There to see.
Can you see the flame in the darkness? Can you shield the flame from the
darkness? If you hear the Word, and the Word is light, then you
understand. For I can see you. There to see.
For those who welcome the sign. For those believing in time.
They have the light, they have the word. They are the children of mine.
And those who doubt my word. And those who see no sign. They have no
light, for they are blind. But they are children of mine (Mine,
Mine,Mine).
Is there a law for grace and truth? Enlighten every man. The opposition.
They fight to kill him. They do not seem to want to understand.
And the woman said.He will show us. When he shows himself. He will
know us. And he said to her. I, who speak to you, am the Son of God.
And she answered, I believe.
He will offer life to those who see him. He will offer life to those
who need him. For God so loved the world. He gave his only Son, that who
believes in him, should not perish, but have Eternal life.
For those who welcome the sign. For those believing in mine. They have
the light, they have the Word. They are the Children of mine.
And those who doubt my Word. And those who doubt my sign. They have no
light, for they are blind. But they are children of mine. Children of
mine. Children of mine. Children of mine (Children, children of mine.
Children of Mine) Mine. (Children, children of mine) Mine (we are the
children, we are the children).
He came that you. You might have him too. For in him was the life.
(Welcome life)
You can receive. If you believe. For in belief is life (Welcome life)
And from above. Eternal love. For he has made him known. (Welcome life)
The opposition, They fight to kill him. They do not seem to want to
understand.
PART FOUR: THE LAST VERSE
And there are also many other things that Jesus did, the which, if they
should be written every one,I suppose that even the world itself could
not contain the books that should be written.
AMEN
