Carried on from age to age
The word is alive
With eyes wide open all who'd see
The Bible was inscribed over a period of 2000 years
It remains yesterday and forever the same
It speaks truth to us even still
Fishermen, singers and shepherds
(This word is alive)
Over a period of time which stagers the imagination
Eternities secrets revealed
Chose to make himself known
But its truth, it will not pass away
The word is alive
Breathing life into all who believe
But its truth, it will not pass away
Simple strokes on a page
Breathing life into all who believe
Jesus is its grand subject
Into the hearts of peasants and Kings
And it cuts like the sword through the darkness
The word is alive
The word is alive
And it cuts like the sword through the darkness
And it cuts like the sword through the darkness
It remains yesterday and forever the same
By kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers
The word is alive
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
This word is alive
Lord, let Your word fall on us
The word is alive
(Its truth, it will not pass away)
The word is alive
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
The word is alive
And the world and its glories will fade
(World and its glories will fade)
And the world and its glories will fade
And bring forth the fruit You deserve
In times of war and in days of peace
The word is alive
Feeds the earth before it returns
The word is alive
But its truth, it will not pass away
Breathing life into all who believe
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
With eyes wide open let us see
And as the rain falls from heaven
And the world and its glories will fade
The marvel is that a lot of grace so perfectly cohesive
He began to unveil
It remains yesterday and forever the same
Our good is designed and the glory of God is its end
Could have been produced by such a diverse crowd
The word that would change the course of all things
And show us the way back to Him
Speaking wisdom and truth
