In the beginning the word was with God And the word was God himself There in the shadows a whisper of light And the veil of darkness fell The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever There in the middle the word became flesh From glory down to dust Traded the heavens to come wash our feet Living water here with us All for a world he loved The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever For when you say it It is finished Your word is final And I believe it When you say it It is finished Your word is final And I believe it The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever The word heals The word builds The word stands forever and ever The word is moving The word is living The word is returning To earth from the heavens And in the ending the word will remain Though the earth will pass away Kingdoms will crumble and riches will fade But the word of God will reign And the church of Christ will say The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever The word was The word is The word will be forever and ever
