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 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 fade

But His truth, it will not pass away

It remains yesterday and forever the same

The Word is alive

Simple strokes on a page

Eternity's 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 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

His Word is alive
