The Word

I've learned every new devotional
Been every place emotional
Trying to hear new words from God
And I think it's very odd
That while I attempt to help myself
My Bible sits upon the shelf
With every promise I could ever need

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?
Will it fade when it gets older?
We throw ideas that aren't in style
In this Salvation Army pile
In search of something more to meet our needs

But the Word was
And the Word is
And the Word will be

I think it's time I rediscovered
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

The Word was
The Word is
The Word was
The Word is
And the Word will be...
