I've done every devotional
Been every place emotional
Trying to hear a new word from God

And I think it's very odd,
That while I attempt to help myself
My Bible sits upon my shelf

With every promise
I could ever need


Chorus:
And the Word was
And the Word is

And the Word will be
The old Word is the new Word is
The old Word is the new Word is...


People are getting fit for Truth
Like they're buying a new tailored suit

Does it fit across the shoulders
Does it fade when it gets older
We throw ideas that aren't in style

In the Salvation Army pile
And search for something more to meet our needs



Bridge:
I think it's time I rediscover

All the ground that I have covered, like
Seek Ye first what a verse
We are pressed but not crushed,

Perplexed but don't despair.
We are persecuted but not abandoned
We are no longer slaves

We are daughters and sons,
And when we are weak
We are very strong


And neither death nor life
Nor present nor future

Nor depth nor height
Can keep us from the love of Christ
And the Word I need

Is the Word that was
Who put on flesh to dwell with us.
In the beginning....
