Be The Word

We can talk 'til we're blue in the face Words come easy, but to do what we say Takes the courage of conviction And a heart of true commitment We can preach about lovin' each other But to reach out to our sisters and brothers Requires a revelation Of the Father's incarnation CHORUS: To be the word, love Be the word, hope Be the word, made manifest Be the word, grace Be the word, faith Be the word, made flesh Through the word, all the worlds took their form Then He stepped out and left his glorious throne To establish heaven's kingdom Though the world would not receive Him Still He called all the weary and lost To follow, and to take up His cross And to go before all nations As God's living incarnation Repeat CHORUS Yes the word that dwelt among us Full of grace and full of truth Now has come to dwell within us To be giving, serving, living proof Repeat CHORUS
