The Word is Alive by Casting Crowns

Looking out from His throne
The Father of light and of men
Chose to make Himself known
And show us the way back to him

Speaking wisdom and truth
Into the hearts of peasants and Kings
He began to unveil
The Word that would change the course of all things

With eyes wide open all would see

The Word is alive
And it cuts like a sword through darkness
With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail
Breathing life into all who believe

The Word is alive
And the world and its glories will fade
But His truth it will not pass away
It remains yesterday and forever the same
The Word is alive

Simple strokes on a page
Eternity's secrets revealed
Carried on from age to age
It speaks truth to us even still

As the rain falls from heaven
Feeds the earth before it returns
Lord, let your Word fall on us
And bring forth the fruit you deserve

With a message of life to the hopeless and the frail.

This song has captured my heart on the long walks home, on the transport times, because of those lines, i'm reminded on the long walks down the hill to my home, that there is hope against all hope, love in a cruel world, help when we are weak.
People ask why. Maybe it seems like a simple dreamscape. It looks like a utopia. Where does help come for free? How can it be? It all sounds like words from a naive child watching the world from a narrowed perspective.

Maybe i am naive. Maybe i have a narrowed perspective. Maybe i haven't been through starvation, droughts, famine, natural disasters, loss of loved ones and so much more.
But God promised it, Jesus sealed it and the Spirit delivered it. I pray that someday there may come a day where we will make an impact to the world such that it changes and peace will truly reign. This is not a "world peace" declaration, just thoughts that ran through my mind.

I think too much.
