We can talk 'til we're blue in the face   Words come easy, but to do what we say   Takes the courage of conviction   And a heart of true commitment   We can preach about lovin' each other   But to reach out to our sisters and brothers   Requires a revelation   Of the Father's incarnation      CHORUS:   To be the word, love   Be the word, hope   Be the word, made manifest   Be the word, grace   Be the word, faith   Be the word, made flesh         Through the word, all the worlds took their form   Then He stepped out and left his glorious throne   To establish heaven's kingdom   Though the world would not receive Him   Still He called all the weary and lost   To follow, and to take up His cross   And to go before all nations   As God's living incarnation         Repeat CHORUS         Yes the word that dwelt among us   Full of grace and full of truth   Now has come to dwell within us   To be giving, serving, living proof         Repeat CHORUS
