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 attempt to help myself

My Bible sits upon my shelf

With every promise

I could ever need



Chorus:

And the Word was

And the Word is

And the Word will be

The old Word is the new Word is

The old Word is the new Word is...



People are getting fit for Truth

Like they're buying a new tailored suit

Does it fit across the shoulders

Does it fade when it gets older

We throw ideas that aren't in style

In the Salvation Army pile

And search for something more to meet our needs



Bridge:

I think it's time I rediscover

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

who put on flesh to dwell with us.

In the beginning....
