1st verse
Em G D Am
Looking out from His throne, the Father of light and of men
Em G D Am
Chose to make Himself known and show us the way back to Him
C D Am
Speaking wisdom and truth into the hearts of peasants and kings
Em G D Am
He began to unveil the Word that would change the course of all things
Em D
With eyes wide open, all would see
Chorus

The Word is alive

And it cuts like a sword through the darkness

With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid
C D
Breathing life into all who believe

The Word is alive

And the world and its glories will fade
Em G C
But His truth, it will not pass away
G C D
It remains yesterday and forever the same
