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
The Word is alive and it cuts like a sword through darkness
With a message of love to the hopeless and afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is alive 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 alive
Verse 2
Simple strokes on a page eternity's secrets revealed
Carried on from age to age it speaks truth to us even still
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
Chorus
The Word is alive and it cuts like a sword through darkness
With a message of love to the hopeless and afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is alive 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 alive (The world and its glories will fade)
The Word is alive (His truth it will not pass away)
His Word is alive (His Word is alive, His Word is alive)
