The Sword of the Word

Verse 1

In the beginning, before the dust and the flame,

The Word was with God, the Word was His Name.

Life in His breath, light breaking night,

Darkness resisted, but failed the fight.

He walked among us, truth made flesh,

Not silent peace, but a fire to test.

Chorus

I follow the Word of God, though the path cuts deep,

A sword in my hand, though my heart still weeps.

If I lose my life, I gain what’s true,

Light over darkness, old made new.

Verse 2

Do not fear sparrows, the Father sees all,

Each hidden tear, each silent fall.

But when truth speaks, the lie must flee,

And hearts are weighed for eternity.

A man and his father torn apart,

Truth draws the line through every heart.

Chorus

I follow the Word of God, though the world divides,

Brother from brother, no place to hide.

If I lose my life because of Him,

I rise in the light, though the road is grim.

Bridge (Micah’s Cry)

A son against father, daughter against mother,

Enemies rise from sister and brother.

This is the judgment the prophets saw,

When mercy is mocked and truth ignored.

Verse 3

Take up the cross, not comfort or name,

Love Him above all earthly claim.

False peace shatters when the light appears,

The Word cuts through generations of fear.

Final Chorus

I choose the Word of God, though it costs me all,

I hear His voice when the kingdoms fall.

Lose this life, and life I’ll find—

The Word still shines.

The Word still shines.
