I seem to be on a Casting Crowns kick of late. When i pick up a CD i tend to play it until the laser has burned in an impression. Over and over and over. The song i am using this week though was a close second place last week. God's Word is the foundation of what we know about God. It is amazingly consistent across copies of text in both actual text (the words) and the over arching theme.
The Word is Alive
Written by Mark Hall and Steven Curtis Chapman
Special guest – Tony Nolan
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
The Word is alive
And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth, it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive
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
With eyes wide open, let us see
The Word is alive
His Word is alive

God’s word is infallible, inerrant, inspired and alive. This song was inspired by a personal study on how the Bible came together. I would encourage you to study through John Piper’s “Why We Believe The Bible” and Voddie Baucham’s “Nothing But The Truth.”
