The Word Became Like Us -Final Draft

ByDan Wilt

Here is the final draft of "The Word Became Like Us" taken from John 1:14-16. After the first revision of changing the verse melody and chords, I concentrated mainly on the song dynamics, and tried my hand at multi-track recording which was lots of fun. I had a bridge, but it did not seem to add to either the message or the dynamics of the song, so I did not include it at this time.

THE WORD BECAME LIKE US by Norbert Bauer

C2 C2/B
From his abundance
Am7 D
We all have received
C2 C2/B
Blessing after blessing
Am7 Dsus D
From the one we cannot see
C2 D
Though none of us have seen God
G C2/G
We know that he is real
C2 D
He sent his only son to us
Am7 Dsus D
His Father to reveal

G2 C/G
So the Word became like us
Am7 Dsus
He came to make his home among us
G2 C/G
Full of His unfailing love
Am7 Am7/G D
And His faithfulness
G2 C/G
So the Word became like us
Am7 Dsus
All of us have seen the glory
G2 C/G
Of the father and the Son
Am7 Am7/G D
As they live in us
