The Word/by Sara Groves
I've done every devotional,
been every place emotional
Trying to hear a new word from God,
and I think it's very odd
That while I attempt to help myself,
My Bible sits upon my shelf
With every promise I could ever need
And the Word was, and the Word is,
And the Word will be.
And the Word was, and the Word is,
And the Word will be.
People are getting fit for truth
Like they're buying a new tailored suit
Does it fit across the shoulders,
Does it fade when it gets older?
We throw ideas that aren't in style
in the Salvation Army pile
And search for something more to meet our needs
And the Word was, and the Word is,
And the Word will be.
And the Word was, and the Word is,
And the Word will be.
I think it's time I rediscover
All the ground that I have covered
Like - seek ye first - what a verse.
We are pressed but not crushed,
Perplexed but don't despair,
We are persecuted but not abandoned.
We are no longer slaves
We are daughters and sons
and when we are weak we are very strong.
And neither death nor life
nor present nor future
Nor depth nor height can keep us
from the love of Christ.
And the Word I need, is the Word that was
That put on flesh to dwell with us.
In the beginning...
And the Word was, and the Word is,
And the Word will be.
And the Word was, and the Word is,
And the Word will be.
open and listen for it.
