The Living Word
In the living breathing cosmos far beyond the mind of man
There's a mystery too awful and too deep to understand
The believing man will never claim to fully comprehend
He only falls down on His knees and worship will begin!
On the word he will depend!
The voice of God's e'er speaking and it's heard by those who are seeking
For him who has the ears to hear the Living word rings clear!
Our eternal welfare now depends on what we hear
yet if we hear silence now then that's a cause to fear
The order and life of the world depends upon God's voice
Ye most men are too stubborn to attend it and rejoice!
They make life's most tragic choice!
For the highest dreams of virtue and the philosophic mind
The poet and the artist who would capture the sublime
Is more than merely genius, It's response to God's own voice
And though they vaguely hear it they are touched by beauty's source
For they have no other choice.
The voice of God's e'er speaking and it's heard by those who are seeking
For him who has the ears to hear the Living word rings clear!
A word of God once spoken's neither bound by time or space
it continues ever constant ever present every place
A word forever faithful and a word forever true
The heart of the God of the universe now speaks to you!
And it is ever fresh and new!
A word which is now speaking continues to be spoken
It is infinite, unchanging, it's a circle yet unbroken
One day when it is far too late all men will come to see
This word was truer in truth than all OUR reality
and so shall it forever be!
