Verse 1:
C                        G
  Looking out from his throne
D                      C
Father of light and of men
C                        G
  Chose to make himself known
    D                        C
And show us the way back to Him
C                      Em
  Speaking wisdom and truth
         D                       Am
Into the hearts of peasants and kings
C                 Em
  He began to unveil
                    D                      C
The word that would change the course of all things
     C               D
With eyes wide open all who'd see

Chorus:
              Em
The word is alive
                     C                  D
And it cuts like the sword through the darkness
                  Em          C                G
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
           C                   D
Breathing life into all who believe
              Em
The word is alive
        G                           D
And the world and its glories will fade
        Em             D        C
But its truth, it will not pass away
     G           C                    D
It remains yesterday and forever the same
              Em
The word is alive

Instrumental:

Verse 2:
C                     G
  Simple strokes on a page
 D                  C
Eternities, secrets revealed
        C              G
Carried on from age to age
   D                        C
It speaks truth to us even still
C                            Em
And as the rain falls from heaven
          D                 Am
Feeds the earth before it returns
     C                     G
Lord, let Your word fall on us
     D                        C
And bring forth the fruit You deserve
      C              D
With eyes wide open, let us see

Chorus:
              Em
The word is alive
                     C                  D
And it cuts like the sword through the darkness
                  Em          C                G
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
           C                   D
Breathing life into all who believe
              Em
The word is alive
        G                           D
And the world and its glories will fade
        Em             D        C
But its truth, it will not pass away
     G           C                    D
It remains yesterday and forever the same
