In the beginning was the Word by Jennifer Bastable — Lyrics
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God.

About In the beginning was the Word
Jennifer Bastable sets the opening words of the Gospel of John, a profound statement on the divine nature of the Word, which was God. The text speaks of the Word being with God from the beginning, and how in Him was life and light. This sacred anthem for double choir, SSATBB and SSATBarB, offers a rich and sonorous setting of this powerful scriptural text. The interplay between the two choirs allows for a dramatic and expressive exploration of the theological concepts presented in the opening verses, creating a compelling musical experience.
