Song - THE WORD IS ALIVE Steven Curtis Chapman

Looking out from His throne, the Father of light and of man 
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.

Simple strokes on a page, eternity's secrets revealed, 
Carried from age to age, it speaks truth to us even still.
As the rain falls from heaven, feeding the earth-- before it returns, 
Let your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit, the fruit you deserve.  
With eyes wide open, let us see.

The Word is alive ant 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.

2 Timothy 3: 14 - 17
"But you must remain faithful to the things you have been taught,  You know they are true, for you know you can trust those who taught you.  You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus.  All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to reach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives.  It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.  God uses it to prepare and equip His people to do every good work."

Hebrews 4: 12-13
"For the word of God is alive and powerful.  It is sharper than the sharpest two-edged sword, cutting between soul and spirit, between joint and marrow.  It exposes our innermost thoughts and desire.  Nothing in all creation is hidden from God.  Everything is naked and exposed before His eyes, and He is the one to whom we are accountable."
