The Word Is Alive
Casting Crowns
Letra

Looking out from His throne
The Father of light and of men
Chose to make Himself known
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 the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless
And afraid
Breathing life into all who believe

The Word is Alive
And the world and its glories will fail
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is Alive

Simple strokes on the page
Eternity's secrets revealed
Carry on age to age
Speaks truth to us even still

As the rain falls from heaven
Cleans 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 a sword through the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless
And afraid
Breathing life into all who believe

The Word is Alive
And the world and its glories will fail
But His 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 two thousand years
In times of war and in days of peace
By kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers
Fisherman, singers and shepherds
The marvel is that a library so perfectly cohesive
Could have been produced by such a diverse crowd
Over a period of time which staggers the imagination
Jesus is His grand subject
Our good is the design
And the glory of God is its end

The Word is Alive
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless
And afraid
Breathing life into all who believe

The Word is Alive
And the world and its glories will fail
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 fail)
The Word is Alive (His truth it will not pass away)
His Word is Alive
His Word is Alive
