^EI've done ev'ry ^Bdevotional Been ^Aev'ry place e-^Emotional Tryin' to ^Ahear a new ^Eword from God And I ^Athink it's very ^Bodd That ^Ewhile I attempt to ^Bhelp myself My ^ABible sits up-^Eon my shelf With ^Aev'ry promise I could ever ^Aneed

[Chorus]

And the Word ^Bwas And the Word ^Ais And the Word will ^Ebe And the Word ^Bwas And the Word ^Ais And the Word will ^Ebe

[Verse 2]

^EPeople are getting ^Bfit for truth ^ALike they're buyin' a new ^Etailored suit Does it f^Ait across the ^Eshoulders Will it ^Afade when it gets ^Bolder We ^Ethrow ideas that ^Baren't in style In ^Athe Salvation Army ^Epile And ^Asearch for something more to meet our ^Aneeds

[Chorus]

And the Word ^Bwas And the Word ^Ais And the Word will ^Ebe And the Word ^Bwas And the Word ^Ais And the Word will ^Ebe

repeat chorus then piano or single guitar only for first part of bridge [Bridge]

I ^Ethink it's time I ^Brediscover ^AAll the ground that ^EI have covered Like ^Aseek ye first - what a ^Averse (Matthew 6:33) We are ^Epressed but not crushed Per-^Bplexed but don't despair We are ^Apersecuted but not ^Aabandoned (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)

-- other stringed instruments begin easing in ---

We are ^Eno longer slaves We are ^Bdaughters and sons And when we are ^Aweak we are very ^Astrong (Romans & 2 Corinthians 12)

-- drums back in here ---

And neither ^Edeath nor life Nor ^Bpresent nor future Nor depth nor ^Aheight can keep us from the love of ^AChrist (Romans 8:38-39) And the ^EWord I need Is the ^BWord that was That ^Aput on flesh to dwell with us - in th^Ae beginning (John 1:14)

[Chorus]

And the Word ^Bwas And the Word ^Ais And the Word will ^Ebe And the Word ^Bwas And the Word ^Ais And the Word will ^Ebe
