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
           Em
The Word is alive
                                         D
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness
             C                  G
With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid
         C                             D
Breathing life into all who believe
                 Em
The Word is alive
        G                          D
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
   Em7                D   Ddim   Dsus
The Word is alive
2nd verse

   Em
               G
Simple strokes on a page
  D                   Am            C                 G
Eternity’s secrets revealed, carried on from age to age
     D                            Am
It speaks truth to us even still
  Em                            G                           D
And as the rain falls from Heaven, feeds the earth before it returns
C                            G           D                    
Am
Lord, let Your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit You deserve
     Em               D
With eyes wide open, let us see
