Casting Crowns - The World Is Alive lyrics

Looking out from his throne The 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 would see The word is alive And it cuts like a sword through 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 his truth it will not pa** away It remains yesterday and forever the same The word is alive Simple strokes on a page Eternity's secrets revealed Carried on from age to age It speaks truth to us even still 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 a sword through 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 his truth it will not pa** 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 stagers the imagination Jesus is it's grand subject our good is designed and the glory of God is its end The word is alive And it cuts like a sword through 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 his truth it will not pa** away It remains yesterday and forever the same The word is alive The word is alive (the world and its glories will fade) The word is alive (his truth it will not pa** away) His word is alive (his word is alive, his word is alive)
