[Verse 1] The Word is more than ink and page, More than the notes we write; It takes the truth and makes it live, And turns the dark to light. From mind to heart, from heart to will, The message finds its way; God’s truth must shape the life we live In every work and day. [Pre-Chorus] Explain the Word, make meaning clear, Let truth be seen and heard; Then bring it home to every heart— The living, powerful Word. [Chorus] From the Word to life, from truth to grace, Let Scripture shine in every place. Explain it clear, illustrate, Apply the truth before it’s late. Let mind and heart and will align, Let Christ be seen through every line. Not just to know, but live it right— From the Word to life, from truth to light. [Verse 2] Give eyes a picture they can see, A story, scene, or flame; Let truth come close to daily life And call the heart by name. Then comes the question, “What now, Lord? How shall I live today?” The truth must reach our hands and feet And shape the path we take. [Pre-Chorus] Illustrate the ancient truth, Then press it to the soul; For preaching finds its purpose When obedience is the goal. [Chorus] From the Word to life, from truth to grace, Let Scripture shine in every place. Explain it clear, illustrate, Apply the truth before it’s late. Let mind and heart and will align, Let Christ be seen through every line. Not just to know, but live it right— From the Word to life, from truth to light. [Verse 3] Nehemiah read the Word aloud, Then opened up its meaning; Our Savior walked through Scripture’s truth And showed what it was teaching. And Paul proclaimed the risen Christ With urgency and grace; The gospel crossed the roads of earth To reach the human race. [Bridge] Let wounded hearts find healing, Let blinded eyes now see; Let weary souls find mercy, Let captives hear “You’re free.” Let truth inform the mind, Let grace awaken hearts, Let faith become obedience— Let preaching do its part. [Verse 4] Beware the sermon filled with facts That never moves the heart; Beware the dazzling stories too That leave the truth apart. Let knowledge serve the hungry soul, Let wisdom serve the grace; Let every illustration Point to Christ and not the preacher’s face. [Pre-Chorus] Open, unfold, proclaim, explain, Let God’s own truth be heard; Bring heaven’s message to the street— From the Word to life and deed. [Final Chorus] From the Word to life, from truth to grace, Let Jesus shine in every place. Explain it clear, illustrate, Apply the truth that does not fade. Let mind and heart and will align, Let Christ be seen through every line. Not just to hear, but live Your Word— Not just to know, but serve, O Lord. [Outro] From the page into our days, From the pulpit to the street, Let Your Word become our life, Let Your truth make us complete. Mind and heart and will unite, By Your Spirit, through Your Word— From the Word to life, From the Word to life, May Christ be seen and heard.
