In the Beginning
In the beginning He was.
Before the Beginning He was
At the end He will be
And after the end
He will continue to be
Because He has no Beginning
And has no end.
He initiated all things
Brought all things into being.
All things depend on Him
But He depends on nothing
Nothing was without Him
Nothing will be without Him
All things answer to Him
Because He is the King of Kings
All Lords are subject to Him
Because He is the Lord of Lords
Principalities and powers are subject to Him
Because He is the head of all principalities and powers
All peoples are subject to Him
Because He created all- great and small.
Every knee shall bow to Him
And every tongue shall confess Him
As Lord to the glory of the Father.
, 5 And now, O Father, glorify Me together with Yourself, with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
24 “Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world.
