[Intro]
This has always been a Word planted
God designed it that way
See, He spoke the universe into being (Teach it!)
In Genesis, the first chapter (Yeah!)
For the Earth was without form and void, and
Darkness was on the face of the deep
But God, the Speaking Spirit, spoke and said
"Let there be light," and there was light!
So, I wanna know, how many people are excited about The Word tonight?
I said, are you excited about The Word tonight?
If you are excited, get up, and we're gonna just celebrate The Word together
Ah, here we go, y'all, talk to 'em, tell 'em, and say it, yeah
[Chorus]
The Word of the Lord is great, eternal (It's great, eternal)
And it shall last from age to age (It shall last from age to age)
The Word of the Lord is great and powerful (Uh-huh, yeah)
He honors it above His name (He honors it above His name, ah, say it again, y'all, tell 'em, say it)
The Word of the Lord is great, eternal (Uh-huh)
And it shall last from age to age (It shall last from age to age)
The Word of the Lord is great and powerful (Uh-huh, and powerful, He honors)
He honors it above His name
[Verse 1]
In the beginning was The Word (The first chapter of John)
In the beginning was The Word, and The Word was God (John 1 and 1)
In the beginning was The Word, The Word was God, and The Word was with God (Still John 1 and 1)
Oh, but if I go over to Isaiah
What chapter speaks about how His Word operates? (Isaiah 55 and 11)
What does He say in Isaiah? He says
[Pre-Chorus]
So shall My Word go forth (What?)
And it shall not return void (What?)
Accomplish that which I please (What? It prospers)
Prosper in anything (Yeah, y'all, so, we say)
[Chorus]
The Word of the Lord is great, eternal (Yeah!)
And it shall last from age to age (It shall last from age to age)
The Word of the Lord is great and powerful (Uh-huh, yes!)
He honors it above His name
[Verse 2]
The words I have spoken, they are spirit, and they are life (John 6 and 6, decree!)
I'm alert and active, always watching over My Word to perform it (Jeremiah 1 and 12)
Take me back to Isaiah
[Pre-Chorus]
So shall My Word go forth (But!)
And it shall not return void (Yeah! But accomplish)
Accomplish that which I please (That, prosper)
Prosper in anything (Yeah! So what do we say here?)
[Chorus]
The Word of the Lord is great, eternal (Yeah!)
And it shall last from age to age (It shall last from age to age)
The Word of the Lord is great and powerful
(The Word, He honors it)
He honors it above His name (Above His name)
[Bridge]
