Look ing out from His (C)throne,
the (G)Fa ther of light and of men
chose to make Him self (C)known
and (G)show us the way back to Him,
speak ing wis dom and truth
in to the hearts of peas ants and kings.
He be gan to un veil the Word that would (G)change the course of all (F)things.
With eyes wide o pen, (G)all would see.
The Word is a live,
and it cuts like a sword through the dark ness,
with a (G)mes sage of life to the hope less and a fraid,
breath ing (F)life in to all who be lieve.
The (C)Word is a live,
and the (C)world and its glo ries will (G)fade,
but His (Am)truth, it will not pass a way;
it re mains,
yes ter day and for ev er the same.
The Word is a live.
Sim ple strokes on a page,
e (G)ter ni ty’s se crets re vealed,
car ried on from age to age.
It (G)speaks truth to us e ven (F)still.
And as the rain falls from Heav en, feeds the earth be fore it re turns,
Lord, let Your Word fall on (Am)us
and (G)bring forth the fruit You de serve.
With eyes wide o pen, (G)let us see.
The Word is a live, The Word is a live.
The Word is a live,
and it cuts like a sword through the dark ness,
with a (G)mes sage of life to the hope less and a fraid,
breath ing (F)life in to all who be lieve.
The (C)Word is a live,
and the (C)world and its glo ries will (G)fade,
but His (Am)truth, it will not pass a way;
it re mains,
yes ter day and for ev er the same.
The Word is a live.
The Word is a live.
His Word is a live.
