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)
