Living Word

Out in the silence, before time began
The word was alive, the truth and the plan
Light in the darkness, burning like fire
Stepped into the dirt, walked through the mire

Not a ghost, not a dream, not a story we made
He bled in the streets, he carried our shame
The word became flesh, thunder in the bones
Glory came down, set fire to the stone

The word became flesh, heaven in the dust
Full of grace, full of truth, God with us
He's no stranger, he's scarred like a man
Hands full of mercy, holes where the nails ran

Eyes like the sunrise, voice like the storm
The infinite God in human form
Not a crown made of gold, but thorns on his head
The lion of Judah, the lamb that was led

The word became flesh, thunder in the bones
Glory came down, set fire to the stone
The word became flesh, heaven in the dust
Full of grace, full of truth, God with us

From the ashes he came, to the ashes he'll go
But the grave couldn't hold what the prophets foretold
From eternity's throne, to a cross in the street
He brought heaven to hell, he brought death to its knees

The word became flesh, thunder in the bones
Glory came down, set fire to the stone
The word became flesh, heaven in the dust
Full of grace, full of truth, God with us
