Looking out from his throne 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 who'd see
The word is alive And it cuts like the sword through the darkness With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail Breathing life into all who believe
The word is alive And the world and its glories will fade But its truth, it will not pass away It remains yesterday and forever the same The word is alive
Simple strokes on a page Eternities 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 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 the sword through the darkness With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail Breathing life into all who believe
The word is alive And the world and its glories will fade But its 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 2000 years In times of war and in days of peace By kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers Fishermen, singers and shepherds
The marvel is that a lot of grace so perfectly cohesive Could have been produced by such a diverse crowd Over a period of time which stagers the imagination
Jesus is its grand subject Our good is designed and the glory of God is its end
The word is alive And it cuts like the sword through the darkness With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail Breathing life into all who believe
The word is alive And the world and its glories will fade But its truth, it will not pass away It remains yesterday and forever the same
The word is alive (World and its glories will fade) The word is alive (Its truth, it will not pass away)
This word is alive (This word is alive) (This word is alive)
