Light like a river
Life that’s forever
Pours down over me

(chorus)
You are beautiful
You are the Lord
You are Jesus Christ
You are the Word

v.1
Pain and fear
Trouble’s here
Dust and ashes

Hate and lies
No replies
Dust and ashes

(refrain)
Lord,
Oh Lord
Deliver me

v.2
Shame and grief
No relief
Dust and ashes

Death and doubt
No way out
Dust and ashes

Wake me up
Wake me up from the world to your Word
Wake me up
From an appetite for the absurd
Wake me up
From my impotent idols of rust
Wake me up
From these dreams that drop into dust

(chorus)
Shake me and wake me and open my eyes
I’m born again in the image of Christ
Lord let the beauty of Jesus shine through
And wake me up…
To You

v.1
There’s a Word that offers healing
A Word of joy
A Word of life
A Word in sorrow
A Word revealing
The Living Word, Jesus Christ

(Chorus)
You were there in the beginning
When You spoke the worlds became
Then becoming flesh You set aside Your fame.
By Your word You laid Your life down
Conquered death to rise and reign
And with eyes of flaming fire You’ll come again,
The Living Word

v.2
There’s a Word that values justice
A Word of peace
A Word of might
A Word of vengeance
A Word of solace
The Living Word, Jesus Christ

v.3
There’s a Word that tells the story
A Word of hope
A Word of light
A Word of heaven
A Word of glory
The Living Word, Jesus Christ

(Turnaround)
The Living Word… Jesus Christ (4x)
