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
~Chorus~
The Word is al-ive
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 al-ive
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 al-ive
Simple strokes on a page
Eternity’s secrets revealed
Carried on, from age to age
It speaks truth to us even still
And as the rain falls from heaven
Feeds the Earth, before it returns
And Lord let Your Word fall on us
And bring forth the fruit You deserve
With eyes wide open, let us see
~Chorus~
(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)
~Chorus~
(The Word and its glories revealed)
The Word is al-ive
(This truth it will all pass away)
The Word is al-ive
(The Word is alive, the Word is alive)
