This is where God's plan began
His plan to create, to make a man.
High above the earth,
This man to be born on earth.

A perfect man, a man of no sin,
Through this man many would come in
To the place
Where God's plan began.

Placed in a pure earthen vessel
This sinless, spirit-man
Created
Where God's plan began.

He was born of woman, but not of man
For this too was God's plan.
Born of the Spirit who dwelt
Where God's plan began.

This man brought gifts too.
Of salvation, forgiveness, righteousness, and
Eternal life.
This man who descended from
Where God's plan began.

He walked the earth as a teacher, Preacher,
Leader of men, a compassionate man.
Not to condemn, but to save life of man.
For this is why God's plan began.

When his work was finished
He gave his life, blood and spirit
To destroy the evil of man.
Then he was buried, but rose alive again.
For this too was God's plan;
He then ascended back to
Where God's plan began.


FOR GOD SO LOVED THE WORLD, HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON
THAT WHOSOEVER BELIEVETH IN HIM SHOULD NOT PERISH, BUT HAVE
EVERLASTING LIFE. FOR GOD SENT NOT HIS SON INTO THE WORLD
TO CONDEMN THE WORLD; BUT THAT THE WORLD THROUGH HIM MIGHT BE SAVED.
John 3:16--17
