In the beginning was the Word,
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
and the Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
St John 1:1 (NIV)
The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,
before you were born I set you apart;
I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.
