The Word Is Alive
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Looking out from His throne
The Father of light and of men
Chose to make Himself known
Show us the way back to Him
Speaking wisdom and truth
Into the hearts of peasants and kings
He began to unveil
The word that would change the course of all things
With eyes wide open
All would see
The Word is Alive
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless
And afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is Alive
And the world and its glories will fail
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is Alive
Simple strokes on the page
Eternity's secrets revealed
Carry on age to age
Speaks truth to us even still
As the rain falls from heaven
Cleans the earth before it returns
Lord, let your Word fall on us
And bring forth the fruit You deserve
With eyes wide open
Let us see
The Word is Alive
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless
And afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is Alive
And the world and its glories will fail
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is Alive
The Bible was inscribed over a period of two thousand years
In times of war and in days of peace
By kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers
Fisherman, singers and shepherds
The marvel is that a library so perfectly cohesive
Could have been produced by such a diverse crowd
Over a period of time which staggers the imagination
Jesus is His grand subject
Our good is the design
And the glory of God is its end
The Word is Alive
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless
And afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is Alive
And the world and its glories will fail
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is Alive (the world and its glories will fail)
The Word is Alive (His truth it will not pass away)
His Word is Alive
His Word is Alive
