There is a version of this song that he sang with an African Choir that is amazing. He used to offer for free download on his website.

It's off of his "Out of Africa" CD.

Ccchhhrrriiisss posted John 1 using the King James Bible.

Lets compare the NIV to the King James posted by Ccchhhrrriiisss. Is there a difference? Can you understand the NIV as well as what Ccchhhrrriiisss posted?

[b] The introduction of John in the NIV says:[/b]

1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2. He was with God in the beginning.
3.Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.
4. In him was life, and that life was the light of men.
5. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it[u][b][color=6633FF] (Or darkness, and the darkness has not overcome)[/color][/b][/u].
6. There came a man who was sent from God; his name was John.
7. He came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all men might believe.
8. He himself was not the light; he came only as a witness to the light.
9. The true light that gives light to every man was coming into the world][u][b][color=6633FF](Or This was the true light that gives light to every man who comes into the world) [/color][/b][/u].
10. He was in the world, and though the world was made through him, the world did not recognize him.
11. He came to that which was his own, but his own did not receive him.
12. Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God—
13. children born not of natural descent, [u][b][color=6633FF]( Greek of bloods) [/color][/b][/u]nor of human decision or a husband's will, but born of God.
14. The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the One and Only ][u][b][color=6633FF] “Or the Only Begotten” [/color][/b][/u], who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.
15. John testifies concerning him. He cries out, saying, "This was he of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has surpassed me because he was before me.' "
16. From the fullness of his grace we have all received one blessing after another.
17. For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ.
18. No one has ever seen God, but God the One and Only ][u][b][color=6633FF] Some manuscripts “but the only (or only Begotten)” Some manuscripts “but the only (or only begotten) Son” [/color][/b][/u], who is at the Father's side, has made him known.

Please note, the footnotes to the NIV are in [u][b][color=6633FF]BOLD[/color][/b][/u] print, and can be found in John 1:5; 1:9; 1:13; 1:14; 1:18 (two footnotes for 1:18).

Sincerely,

Walter

Greetings...!

In the midst of all of the consumer emphasis of the season...and in the fight of those on the left to remove Christ from the purpose (and then return the "holiday" completely back to its pagan origin), it is important to realize the significance of the birth of our Lord on this planet. [b] The introduction of John says:[/b]

[b]1[/b] In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
[b]2[/b] The same was in the beginning with God.
[b]3[/b] All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
[b]4[/b] In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
[b]5[/b] And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
[b]6[/b] There was a man sent from God, whose name was John.
[b]7[/b] The same came for a witness, to bear witness of the Light, that all men through him might believe.
[b]8[/b] He was not that Light, but was sent to bear witness of that Light.
[b]9[/b] That was the true Light, which lighteth every man that cometh into the world.
[b]10[/b] He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
[b]11[/b] He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
[b]12[/b] But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
[b]13[/b] Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
[b]14[/b] And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
[color=0033FF][b]15.[/b] John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.
[b]16.[/b] And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
[b]17.[/b] For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
[b]18.[/b] No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.15-18 added[/color]
