Casting Crowns – The Word Is Alive (Guitar)

Em                      G                       D         Am
Looking out from His throne, the Father of light and of men

Em                     G                     D              Am
Chose to make Himself known and show us the way back to Him

C                                              D             Am
Speaking wisdom and truth into the hearts of peasants and kings

Em                      G                   D                 Am
He began to unveil the Word that would change the course of all things

Em                              D
With eyes wide open, all would see

           Em
The Word is alive

                                         D
And it cuts like a sword through the darkness

             C                  G
With a message of life to the hopeless and afraid

         C                             D
Breathing life into all who believe

                 Em
The Word is alive

        G                          D
And the world and its glories will fade

        Em            G         C
But His truth, it will not pass away

    G            C                  D
It remains yesterday and forever the same

   Em7                D   Ddim   Dsus
The Word is alive

               G
Simple strokes on a page

  D                   Am            C                 G
Eternity’s secrets revealed, carried on from age to age

     D                            Am
It speaks truth to us even still

  Em                            G                           D
And as the rain falls from Heaven, feeds the earth before it returns

Am
Lord, let Your Word fall on us and bring forth the fruit You deserve

     Em               D
With eyes wide open, let us see
