God's word is alive

God's word, a sword of truth, piercing the soul
Alive and active, it cuts to the goal
It judges the thoughts, and attitudes of the heart
A discerner of intentions, it sets apart

Sharper than any two-edged sword, it divides
Between flesh and spirit, it exposes the lies
It convicts and convinces, with a gentle might
Bringing life and light, to the darkest of nights

It's a seed that's planted, in the soil of the heart
Springing up to life, a new work of art
It grows and transforms, from glory to glory
A living and breathing, revelation of His story

God's word, a fire that burns, with a passion so bright
Illuminating the path, in the darkest of nights
It's a lamp to our feet, a light to our way
Guiding us in truth, every step of the day

Alive and powerful, it pierces the darkness
A beacon of hope, in a world of chaos and madness
God's word, a treasure, that never grows old
A living and abiding, gift that never grows cold.
