Casting Crowns - the altar and the door
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 the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth
it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
Simple strokes on a page
Eternity's secrets revealed
carried on from age to age
It speaks Truth to us even still
And 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
let us see
His Word is alive
