Intro | | | | |
Looking out from His throne, the Father of light and of men
Chose to make Himself known and 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
Ref:
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 fade
But His truth, it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive
Simple strokes on a page, eternity's secrets revealed
carried on from age to age, speaks Truth to us even still
And as the rain falls from Heaven, feeds the earth before it returns
Oh Lord, let Your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit You deserve
With eyes wide open, let us see
Ref, then: The Word is alive
