This is one of my favorite songs, any time I listen to it, I get chills and tears well up in my eyes. It's called "The Word is Alive" by Casting Crowns and the truth of it comes on so many levels just like God's Word, which I totally believe is alive!! I'm praying for a passion for His Word. I'm constantly amazed at all that is contained in its contents. God is so much more than I could ever imagine.

Here are the lyrics:

Looking out from His throne, the Father of light and of men
Chose to make Himself known and show us the way back to Him
Speaking wisdom and truth into the hearts of peasants and kings
He began to unveil the Word that would change the course of all things

With eyes wide open, all would see

The Word is alive
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid
Breathing life into all who believe
The Word is alive

And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth, it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive

Simple strokes on a page
Eternity's secrets revealed, carried on from age to age
It speaks Truth to us even still
And as the rain falls from Heaven, feeds the earth before it returns
Lord, let your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit You deserve
With eyes wide open, let us see
The Word is alive
His Word is alive

In the middle of the song they talk about how the bible was inscribed over a period of 2000 years, in times of war and days of peace, by kings, physicians, tax collectors, farmers, fishermen, singers and shepherds. The marvel is that a library so perfectly cohesive could've been produced by such a diverse crowd over a period of time which staggers the imagination. Jesus is it's grand subject. Our good is designed as the glory of God at its end.

So amazing!!
