Right at the start when God opened His heart
He spoke to the night and said “Let there be light”
He could have just thought and the world would appear
But He chose to use words so the lesson was clear
From His power and His glory He spoke from above
To create His own family to share in His love
Now He’s passed on to us the power to declare
That Jesus is king and His presence is near
God’s word is the tool that allows us to rule
We agree and decree, we address and confess
We declare and establish and He lights up our way
We remove all the mountains with the words that we say
When we turn on the tongue then the reach of our speech will turn night into light, death into breath.
Give voice to His word and let it be heard
Preach it and teach it – let it out with a shout
The works of our Father are what we’re about
We believe and we speak and we say our “Amen”
Knowing what He has done He will do it again
The angels are waiting for our activating
When we issue the command they’ll be there on demand
Speak His word as a fact and His messengers will act
His winds and his fire will accomplish His desire
Don’t leave the word on the page but let it engage
With those that surround us, declaring heaven has found us.
With the word as our sword we say Jesus is Lord
The words of our story will bring forth His glory
Heaven and earth will not last but His word will hold fast
He’s entrusted to us the word of His power
To make known His kingdom in this glorious hour.
