(Verse 1: The Foundation The Word)
The ink is more than markings on a page
A steady lamp through every passing age
It tells the tale of how the world began
And traces out the Master’s saving plan.
It probes the heart, a sharp and two-edged sword
The holy revelation of the Lord
Not just a book of rules or ancient lore
But every word a wide and open door.
(Chorus)
Oh, Living Word, lead us to the Father
Through the Spirit and the Witness of the Son
From the pages to the Presence we are falling
Until the work of grace in us is done.
(Verse 2: The Direction Pointing to Jesus)
In every line, a crimson thread is spun
Each promise find its "Yes" within the Son
From burning bush to silent manger stall
The Great "I Am" is reaching for us all.
It points away from all our works and pride
To where the Savior’s arms were opened wide
The Word Incarnate met the written Word
To make the song of Heaven clearly heard.
(Chorus)
Oh, Living Word, lead us to the Father
Through the Spirit and the Witness of the Son
From the pages to the Presence we are falling
Until the work of grace in us is done.
(Verse 3: The Revelation The Holy Spirit)
But without Breath, the letter remains still
We need the Flame to move the human will
The Spirit comes to pull the veil away
And turn the ancient text to "now" today.
He takes the Truth and carves it on the soul
He takes the broken lives and makes them whole
Through Spirit, Word, and Christ, the Way is known
The path that leads us back to God alone.
(Chorus)
Oh, Living Word, lead us to the Father
Through the Spirit and the Witness of the Son
From the pages to the Presence we are falling
Until the work of grace in us is done.
(Chorus)
Oh, Living Word, lead us to the Father
Through the Spirit and the Witness of the Son
From the pages to the Presence we are falling
Until the work of grace in us is done.
