Receive the Word, Receive the Lord

[Verse 1]
Along the road, a servant goes,
With humble steps and sacred load.
Not his own name, but Christ proclaimed,
The seed of grace, the saving flame.
The King who sends, the Word made known,
Through faithful lips, His truth is sown.
To welcome those who bear His Word
Is to receive the living Lord.
[Pre-Chorus]
A cup of water, offered in faith,
A prayer that strengthens, a hand that aids.
In every gift, in all we do,
We share the work He calls us to.
[Chorus]
Receive the Word, receive the Lord,
Welcome the servants He has called.
Pray for their strength, help them endure,
And keep their hearts in grace secure.
One speaks the truth, and many give,
Together in His work we live.
In every act of faith and love,
We serve the Lord who reigns above.
[Verse 2]
Through prophets, apostles, ministers,
God sends His grace through faithful servants.
Yet truth must guard the church’s door,
And test each word forevermore.
Not blind devotion to a name,
But love for Christ and truth proclaimed.
As Paul was welcomed long ago,
Receive God’s Word and let it grow.
[Pre-Chorus]
A cup of water, offered in faith,
A prayer that strengthens, a hand that aids.
In every gift, in all we do,
We share the work He calls us to.
[Chorus]
Receive the Word, receive the Lord,
Welcome the servants He has called.
Pray for their strength, help them endure,
And keep their hearts in grace secure.
One speaks the truth, and many give,
Together in His work we live.
In every act of faith and love,
We serve the Lord who reigns above.
[Bridge]
Give them joy to shepherd well,
Give them grace when burdens swell.
Let mercy shine through all they do,
And make their hearts steadfast and true.
The smallest gift, the quiet prayer,
The Lord remembers, answers there.
One body serving, one faith confessed,
In Christ, we share His promised rest.
[Final Chorus]
Receive the Word, receive the Lord,
Welcome the servants He has called.
Pray for their strength, help them endure,
And keep their hearts in grace secure.
One speaks the truth, and many give,
Together in His work we live.
In every act of faith and love,
We serve the Lord who reigns above.
[Outro]
Receive the worker, hear the Word,
And welcome Christ, our risen Lord.
A cup, a prayer, a gift of love—
The Lord is present, reigning above.
