D.A. Carson's Poem on the Incarnation

D.A. Carson is one of the foremost Biblical scholars in the world.  He teaches at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School and has written dozens of books, many of which were required reading at my seminary.  His recent message on the incarnation given at a conference for young adults included a poem that he wrote.  I'll give you the first stanza, along with a link to the entire poem.

The Prologue

Before there was a universe,

     Before a star or planet,

When time had still not yet begun --

     I scarcely understand it --

Th' eternal Word was with his God,

     God's very Self-Expression;

Th' eternal Word was God himself --

     And God had planned redemption.
