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 my shelf 

With every promise 

I could ever need 



Chorus: 

And the Word was 

And the Word is 

And the Word will be 

The old Word is the new Word is 

The old Word is the new Word is... 



People are getting fit for Truth 

Like they're buying a new tailored suit 

Does it fit across the shoulders 

Does 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 



Bridge: 

I think it's time I rediscover 

All the ground that I have covered, like 

Seek Ye first what a verse 

We are pressed but not crushed, 

perplexed but don't despair. 

We are persecuted but not 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 

who put on flesh to dwell with us. 

In the beginning....
