|
Looking out from his throne |
|
Father of light and of men |
|
Chose to make himself known |
|
And show us the way back to |
|
HimSpeaking 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 library so perfectly cohesive |
|
Over a period of time which staggers 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) |
