[Intro] Open the Word Uncover my pride Spirit of God Bring Christ into sight [Verse 1] I had verses stored in my memory Still kept a room where I hid unbelief Read Your commands like they spoke to someone else Used the right language to protect myself Then Your law cut through my best defense Named the sin I dressed as innocence All my righteousness couldn't clear the debt Nothing in my hands could pay for it Then I read of the cross outside the gate Where the sinless Son took the sinner's place Justice wasn't swept beneath the floor Jesus bore the wrath I was headed for [Pre-Chorus] Bread can feed me for a day But my soul needs what You say By Your Spirit, let me see Christ revealed in words I read [Chorus] The Spirit breathes upon the Word Brings the risen Christ to sight Grace I never could deserve Calls me out into the light What You speak outlasts the earth What You promise holds me fast Plant Your truth beneath the surface Let obedience be the harvest [Verse 2] Every page bears what Your breath supplied Truth stands firm when my feelings lie Not a spark from some borrowed flame Your glory shines through every age Promises carried through exile and grief Found their fulfillment in Christ our peace The grave couldn't hold Him under its stone Now our risen Savior reigns upon the throne Nations rage and the proud make plans Kingdoms crumble, but Your counsel stands Heaven and earth will pass from view Not a word will fall that was spoken by You [Pre-Chorus] Teach me what I need to know Name the sin I won't let go Set me straight and train my ways Fit these hands for works of grace [Chorus] The Spirit breathes upon the Word Brings the risen Christ to sight Grace I never could deserve Calls me out into the light What You speak outlasts the earth What You promise holds me fast Plant Your truth beneath the surface Let obedience be the harvest [Verse 3 - Melodic Rap] I don't work to purchase what the Savior gave Fruit grows out of roots established in His grace Faith receives the gift with nothing left to boast Then love gets busy serving those who need it most Let me hunger for the truth like a newborn cries Feed me what is pure; keep deceit from my lips Don't let me trim Your words to fit the times Or add my own demands beside the ones You've given Build Your church to hold the truth in public view Keep our witness faithful and our motives true When correction stings, don't let me turn aside Mercy wounds my pride to heal what grows inside [Bridge] The hand that gave the sacred page Still gives its light and heat Your promises sustain my hope Your precepts guide my feet Receive my thanks for heavenly dawn That reaches through this night And make the places I have darkened Brighter with a faithful life [Breakdown] Jesus, You're the One I follow Through the losses, through the years You have gone before Your people You will bring us safely near Till the veil of faith is lifted And Your glory fills my view Keep me walking by Your promise With my eyes fixed firm on You [Final Chorus] The Spirit breathes upon the Word Brings the risen Christ to sight Grace I never could deserve Calls me out into the light What You speak outlasts the earth What You promise holds me fast Plant Your truth beneath the surface Let obedience be the harvest [Outro] Grass will wither Flowers fade Still Your Word Remains the same By Your mercy Through Your Son Keep me faithful Till You come
