Timothy Brindle
The Word of God
[Introduction]
Now hear the Word of Yahweh as He speaks through His Holy Scriptures
"But to this one I will look
To him who is humble and contrite of spirit, and who trembles at My word."
Isaiah 66:2
The Word of God

[Verse 1]
"This Christian is radical, what's written is factual"
Let me first establish all Scripture's infallible
It's God-breathed, His Word, He exhaled
To the blind in the spirit, makes the text braille
Embrace His mysteries, look and take a glance
At the greatest history book, no fate or chance
'Cause His word never fails unlike men who are sinning
By His Word, He's declared the end from the beginning
And His plan of salvation is solely through scripture
God reveals Himself, yet it's only a whisper
To speak to man, He's greatly condescended
But only His Spirit can make you comprehend it
But we can't grasp the whole of it, it's impossible
'Cause the fact's His Holy Writ is inexhaustible
Yet you claim His Word has contradictions
‘Cause you don't have the Spirit and you're not a Christian
Imposters can't see it with binoculars
And only the canon's inspired, not the Apocrypha
Ignorin' the facts of it is horribly hazardous
And I can assure you that it's historically accurate
See, the text we hold is the Dead Sea scrolls
And we testify that it sets free souls
And renews the mind of these dudes who rhyme
And fiends who used to fry and inject needles
[Chorus 1]
Grass withers, flowers fade
But the Word of God endures forever
A perfect treasure
Grass withers, flowers fade
But the Word of God endures forever
A perfect treasure
Grass withers, flowers fade
But the Word of God endures forever
A perfect treasure
Grass withers, flowers fade
But the Holy Word of God endures forever and ever

[Verse 2]
Why, there's certain guys ignorin' the fact
That the Bible's the Church's final authority, black
My brothers, it is for sure
We call the Bible Holy, 'cause it's set apart from all other literature
And forget philosophy, His Word has got to be the real
'Cause it's the only holy book with prophecy fulfilled
I was a foul pagan, but, mind you, I'm now statin'
How the Word of God's made me wise to salvation
Meet the Savior on a piece of paper
See the glory of Christ, He's the Creator
And each page has a really meaty flavor
So we should savor it, not say, "I'll read it later."
But make it our life and our great delight
Hide it in our hearts, meditating on it day and night
And be firmly rooted right next to Jesus
Using hermeneutics and tight exegesis
We should give God the glory, preach expository
While teaching kids like Montessori
Be diligent to endure it and fear it
Be killin' sin by the sword of the Spirit
Satan despises me, it angers society
That we speak in a biblical language variety
'Cause it reveals that mankind is sinful
But it revives the soul and makes wise the simple
[Chorus 2]
The Word of God, observe His law
See, our need for Christ, it shows we're surely flawed
The Word of God, observe His law
See, your need for Christ, it shows you're surely flawed

[Verse 3]
Yo, instead of reading it, we sit and we watch
The idiot box, pickin' our crotch
Fixin' our thoughts on wickedest plots
Our culture's acted pitifully
And Satan uses the widespread lack of literacy
See the world is deceptive and it's horrid and wretched
Because of it's man-made morals and ethics
It's subjective poop, misdirects the youth
But God's law is the only objective truth
See, lots of man's conventions are smart
But only the Word can judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart
And the Word's suffice to give eternal life
'Cause faith comes from hearing, hearing through the Word of Christ
A call to all and I'm not insulting, y'all
But the Spirit by the Word saves without an altar call
And through it, His sheep hear the voice of the Shepherd
Once poisonous lepers, now rejoicin' forever
Saved by His healing tongue
The Spirit of God uses the Word of God to reveal the Son
Um, come consider this, we once were wisdomless
'Cause without the Spirit, their words a bunch of gibberish
And without Him, you're still doomed with Satan
'Cause only He gives the words illumination
It's a sharp blade, it imparts grace
And sparks faith, a lamp shining in a dark place
Christians always asks, "What's God's will for me?"
Well, it's found in His Word, search with humility
The man of God's equipped, there's no complications
The Scripture's sufficient apart from confirmation
According to the Scriptures, Christ died in our stead
It's according to the Scriptures that He'd rise from the dead
Our only thing that's tangible to focus on Emmanuel
It's our rock and it's our hope and it's our Holy Manual
[Chorus 3]
Grass withers, flowers fade
But the Word of God endures forever
A perfect treasure
Grass withers, flowers fade
But the Word of God endures forever
A perfect treasure
Grass withers, flowers fade
But the Word of God endures forever
A perfect treasure
Grass withers, flowers fall off
But the Holy Word of God endures forever and ever
And ever (ever)

[Outro]
All glory to Yahweh (Praise You, Lord)
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (That's Your Name)
The incarnate Word, the Logos, Jesus Christ
For we have been born again
Not of a seed which is perishable, but imperishable
That is, through the living and enduring Word of God
Thank You, Father
