Evangelion: Spoken Word

Our performance art for September 18th REFRESH was Steve Gibboney reading two poems, In Between by Robert Cording, and Evangelion by Steve. Here is the full text of Evangelion.


EVANGELION

By Steve Gibboney

In the Beginning
was the word,
working, sustaining
building, creating
all things.
Through Him,
By Him, and
to Him,
all things are.
without Him,
nothing that is
would be.
The only Begotten
Son of God,
begotten not made,
Very God of Very God,
He became flesh,
He did not put flesh on,
like a garment, but became
flesh as he is spirit,
became man as he is God.

He made his dwelling
among us,
but the darkness had not understood, and
his own, did not receive.
Those of us
that did believe-
those branches,
natural and grafted-
He dwells
among us still,
Full of Grace and Truth,
the true Light
shining in the darkness
of our sin and the shameful
secrets of our slowly crucified hearts,
He dwells with us bringing sorrow
unto repentance,
and the Joy of life abundantly,
from the fullness of his grace.
