Your Word

Your Word has power to save the vilest soul;
Your Word can make the hopeless whole again.
Those blinded by darkness can see the light;
Your Word has the power to turn a heart from sin.

Your Word cuts to the quick, convicts the heart;
It brings a wanderer to repentance.
It reveals our filthiness and our shame;
It gives the broken more than another chance.

Your Word teaches us how to love all men;
Your Word makes known an open door to Him.
It announces your salvation through grace;
And that your blood cleanses us from all sin.

Your Word, so powerful, so real, so great;
Can make everything new in an instance.
That shattered life can stand and sing again;
Brokenness, turns to joy, the heart can dance.

Your Word teaches us to praise in battle;
To trust, to be courageous, fearless.
For you are more than mighty, YOU ARE GOD;
Yet you are ever loving and near us.

Your Word causes evil to flee in fear;
Your Word proclaims your perfect holiness.
And your anger towards disobedience;
It extends to the repentant forgiveness.

Your Word, remains a light unto our path;
Your Word is medicine, your Word is pure.
Your Word is living water for the soul;
Your Word is steadfast and its precepts sure.

Your Word became flesh and dwelt among us;
Mighty God came to earth as holy child.
Because, you are love and you are mercy;
Your light and redemption saves the defiled.

Thank-You For Your Word
