Alleluia, alleluia.
1. Speak, Lord, your servant is list’ning.
Speak your words of wisdom,
for the words you speak
are everlasting life.
2. The Word of the Lord lasts forever.
What is the word that is living?
It is brought to us
through God’s Son: Jesus Christ.

creator of earth and heaven,
for the mysteries
of the Kingdom shown to children.”

“you who are my disciples.
I make known to you
all I’ve learned from my Father.”

“hearing my voice, will listen.
They will follow me,
for I know them; they are mine.”

The Word of the Lord is active.
It can judge our thoughts,
bring us closer to the Father.

close to my Word keep faithful:
for your faithfulness
I will give you the crown of life.”
