C
The word, the word, the word
          G               C
There has always been the word
C
But then the word took on flesh
C
Like a homeless baby in distress
      Am              C
Jesus walked into the fray
                       F
To prove a reconciling way oh
Am                      C                    F
The word, the word, the living, saving word

[Instrumental]
Am  C    F Am  C    F


[Verse]
Am                     C
My heart, my heart, my heart
                           F
Like the sea that once did part
            Am        C
To keep the devils at bay
                      F
From left to right it sways
       Am          C
Like a tired ocean wave
F      C         F
All my heart now craves is
Am                      C                    F
The word, the word, the living, saving word

[Chorus]
G                              Am  F        G
From darkness, to darkness, to darkness, to light
                                Am   F           C
The word because flesh to bring dead things to life

[Instrumental]
Am  C    F Am  C    F

[Verse]
Am                            C
Yet it's a groaning, groaning world
                                 Am
Where even the trees are begging for
   C
A new place to lay down roots
                              Am    F
Where wars for oil will not destroy
          Am                 C
We know a peace that lasts beyond a day
                    F
A hope that's deep enough to stay
Am                      C                    F
The word, the word, the living, saving word

[Chorus]
G                              Am  F        G
From darkness, to darkness, to darkness, to light
                                Am   F         C
The word because flesh to bring dead things to life Oh-oh

[Instrumental]
Am  C    F Am  C    F Am  C    F Am  C    F

[Bridge]
          Am                 C
We know a peace that lasts beyond a day
                    F
A hope that's deep enough to stay
       Am                 C
Yeah a peace that lasts beyond a day
                    F
A hope that's deep enough
          Am                 C
We know a peace that lasts beyond a day
                    F
A hope that's deep enough to stay
        Am                  C                    F
Its the word, the word, the living, saving word
