a play with words

Was just listening to the album 40 Acres by yes...Caedmon's Call AGAIN (haha!) and I came across this really cool rendition of John 3:16.

***

For You so loved the unlovable
That You gave the ineffable
That who so believes the unbelievable
Will gain the unattainable.

- from the song, There You Go by Caedmon's Call

***

Compare it with the "original version".

***

For God so loved the world
That He gave His only begotten Son
That whoever believes in Him
Shall not perish but have eternal life.

- John 3:16, New American Standard Bible


***

There you go (pun not intended), the message of the Christian faith in a nutshell. Funny how we seem to make it so complicated at times. It's a message...

...of love shown
...of grace extended
...of hope given
