Out of clayâ â

Himself to brightest Day
Till he was all shining gold,
And oh,
He was handsome to behold!

Aimed at me who created
Him. And I said,

âWho am thy Fountainheadâ

30. BIBLICAL EXPLANATION
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with
God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the
beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without
him nothing was made that has been made.4 In him was
life, and that life was the light of all mankind. 5 The light
shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not
overcome it.
31. BIBLICAL EXPLANATION
6 There was a man sent from God whose name
was John. 7 He came as a witness to
testify concerning that light, so that through
him all might believe. 8 He himself was not the
light; he came only as a witness to the light.
32. BIBLICAL EXPLANATION
9 The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the
world.10 He was in the world, and though the world was made
through him, the world did not recognize him. 11 He came to
that which was his own, but his own did not receive him. 12 Yet
to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his
name, he gave the right to become children of Godâ
13 children born not of natural descent, nor of human decision
or a husbandâs will, but born of God. John 1.1-13 (NIV)
