Casting Crowns - The Word Is Alive: Guitar Chords

E                      B
Looking out from his throne
F#                      E
Father of light and of men
E                       B
Chose to make himself known
     F#                      E
And show us the way back to Him
E                    G#m
Speaking wisdom and truth
          F#                     C#m
Into the hearts of peasants and kings
E             G#m
He began to unveil
                     F#                        E
The word that would change the course of all things
     E              F#
With eyes wide open all who'd see

Chorus:
              G#m
The word is alive
                                        F#
And it cuts like the sword through the darkness
                               E                 B
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
           E                   F#
Breathing life into all who believe
             G#m
The word is alive
         B                     F#
And the world and its glories will fade
         G#m            F#        E
But its truth, it will not pass away
      B           E                    F#
It remains yesterday and forever the same
              G#m
The word is alive

Simple strokes on a page
Eternity's secrets revealed
Carried on from age to age
It speaks truth to us even still
And as the rain falls from heaven
Feeds the earth before it returns
Lord, let your word fall on us
And bring forth the fruit you deserve
With eyes wide open, Let us see

Chorus - x2

(The world and its glories will fade)
The word is alive
(His truth, it will not pass away)
His word is alive
(His word is alive, His word is alive)
[Outro (spoken)]
Jesus is its grand subject, our good is designed
And the glory of God is its end
