The Word-- 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 intend to help myself

My Bible sits upon the shelf

With every promise I could ever need.

'Cause the Word was

And the Word is

And the Word will be. (repeat 2x)

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?

They throw ideas that aren't in style

In the Salvation Army pile

In search for something more to meet our needs.

But the Word was

And the Word is

And the Word will be (repeat 4x)

I think it's time to rediscover

All the ground that I have covered

Like seek you 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

When neither depth nor hight

Nor present nor future

Nor death nor life

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...
