The Final Word (The Final Word Album Version)

You and me, we use so very many clumsy words

The noise of what we often say is not worth being heard

When the Father's wisdom wanted to communicate His love

He spoke it in one final perfect word

He spoke the incarnation and then so was born the Son

His final word was Jesus, He needed no other one

Spoke flesh and blood, so He could bleed and make a way divine

And so was born the baby who would die to make it mine

And so the Father's fondest thought took on flesh and bone

He spoke the living luminous word, at once His will was done

And so the transformation that in man had been unheard

Took place in God the Father as He spoke that final word

He spoke the incarnation and then so was born the Son

His final word was Jesus, He needed no other one

Spoke flesh and blood, so He could bleed and make a way divine

And so was born the baby who would die to make it mine

And so the light became alive

And manna became man

Eternity stepped into time

So we could understand

He spoke the incarnation and then so was born the Son

His final word was Jesus, He needed no other one

Spoke flesh and blood, so He could bleed and make a way divine

And so was born the baby who would die to make it mine

And so was born the baby who would die to make it mine
