The First and Final Word

God’s Word, righteous and glorious

Perfect, eternal, true

 It makes His love alive in us

Like nothing else will do

It equips, completes, trains, sustains

Corrects and edifies

Though all else fails, still IT remains

To make the simple wise

It does not cater to the flesh

But on its sacred page

Reveals God's perfect Righteousness

Unchanged from age to age

The judgment of ten thousand men

That knowledge may applaud

Is like the noise of small children

Without the Word of God

God’s grace will always be enough

To break the curse of sin

But only through His word in us

Can His power begin

A branch, when severed from the vine

Is a dead, fruitless thing

His Word is the faithful lifeline

To which the branches cling

God’s love is ever undeterred

A pure and perfect rod

In the Beginning was The Word

The Word Was and IS God

1 Thessalonians 2:13
And we continually thank God that in receiving the word of God from us,

 you did not accept it as the word of men, but as the true word of God--

the word now at work in you who believe.

 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

Romans 10:17

Every Scripture is God-breathed and profitable for instruction, for conviction,

 for correction, and for training in righteousness,

 so that the man of God may be complete, fully equipped for every good work.…

2 Tim.3:16-17
