Verse 1 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)
