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 Word is alive
His Word is alive
