The Word Is Alive Lyrics - The Altar And The Door - Casting Crowns

Looking out from his throne 

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 who'd see 

The word is alive 

And it cuts like the sword through the darkness 

With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail 

Breathing life into all who believe

The word is alive 

And the world and its glories will fade 

But its truth, it will not pass away 

It remains yesterday and forever the same 

The word is alive 

Simple strokes on a page 

Eternities, 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 

And it cuts like the sword through the darkness 

With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail 

Breathing life into all who believe

The word is alive 

And the world and its glories will fade 

But its truth, it will not pass away 

It remains yesterday and forever the same 

The word is alive 

The Bible was inscribed over a period of 2000 years 

In times of war and in days of peace 

By kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers 

Fishermen, 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 its grand subject, our good is designed 

And the glory of God is its end 

The word is alive 

And it cuts like the sword through the darkness 

With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail 

Breathing life into all who believe 

The word is alive 

And the world and its glories will fade 

But its truth, it will not pass away 

It remains yesterday and forever the same 

The word is alive 

(World and its glories will fade) 

The word is alive 

(Its truth, it will not pass away) 

This word is alive 

(This word is alive, this word is alive)
