### [Verse 1] Kings have traced upon the dust Paths of blood and pride, Shattering lives and sacred trust Where fleeting vanities reside. Bathsheba weeps her ruined world, Uriah sleeps in shadow and neglect, Yet the future charts its course unfurled, Beyond the crime and its defect. For man stumbles and tears apart, Leaving ruins and torment behind, Yet none can break or skew from heart The seal of a divine design. ### [Chorus] **Jehovah’s** word moves ever onward, Beyond the passage of time and tears, Immutable, sovereign, immense, untamed, Defying our doubts and our fears. If the ground gives way and shatters, If betrayals make us bend or fall, His promise never fails or stammers: What He has spoken fulfills it all. ### [Verse 2] Ahaz trembles within the hall, As night and invasion draw near, He seeks a human help, a wall, Far from the vision crystal-clear. Jerusalem doubts and holds her breath Beneath the bitter, looming threat, Yet **David’s** house escapes the death, Guarding the ark and promise yet. Men conspire in secrecy, The throne may waver and may shake, Pero **Jehovah** watches steadfastly To keep the oath He swore to make. ### [Chorus] **Jehovah’s** word moves ever onward, Beyond the passage of time and tears, Immutable, sovereign, immense, untamed, Defying our doubts and our fears. If the ground gives way and shatters, If betrayals make us bend or fall, His promise never fails or stammers: What He has spoken fulfills it all. ### [Verse 3] Nothing broken in the dark Escapes **Jehovah’s** searching gaze, Every tear and every mark Is gathered in His timeless ways. The faults of others wound us deep, And winter stretches out its night, Yet His purpose heals the grief we keep And sets the universe aright. He needs no pain of ours to rise To bring His horizon to birth, Yet He will break the heavy ties That hold us captive to the earth. ### [Verse 4] One day, the bitterness will fade, The memory no longer a knife, **Jehovah’s** peace will soothe the shade To build a brand new world and life. Let us walk with firm and faithful tread Within the kingdom's radiant wake, By everlasting brilliance led That chases every ghost away and ache. As rain waters the thirsty land And fulfills what it is sent to do, His mouth performs what He has planned, And guards our souls forever through. ### [Chorus] **Jehovah’s** word moves ever onward, Beyond the passage of time and tears, Immutable, sovereign, immense, untamed, Defying our doubts and our fears. If the ground gives way and shatters, If betrayals make us bend or fall, His promise never fails or stammers: What He has spoken fulfills it all. ### [Outro] Nothing is lost beneath the skies. Everything is seen by **Jehovah’s** eyes. Neither the fallen tear nor the broken heart, Sung by **David**, set apart. His mouth has spoken... And the earth has listened. **Jehovah’s** purpose remains.
