Mmmmmm Music | The Word by Sara Groves

Just had to share this oldie with you. Sara Groves is one of my favorite musicians. I love how unpredictable and yet melodic her melodies are. And the lyrics aren't just embellishment to the tune. They are truth. Listen to the song, but read the lyrics below also. Meditate on it.

The Word

By Sara Groves

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 the shelf
With every promise I could ever need

The Word was the Word is and the Word will be
The Word was the Word is and the Word will be

People are getting fit for truth like they're buying a new tailored suit
Does it fit across the shoulders, will 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

The Word was the Word is and the Word will be
The Word was the Word is and the Word will be

I think it's time we rediscover all the ground that we have covered
Like 'seek ye first,' what a verse
We are pressed but not crushed, perplexed but don't despair
We are persecuted but never 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
He put on flesh to dwell with us
In the beginning

The Word was the Word is and the Word will be
The Word was the Word is and the Word will be
