Lyrics
Verse
Man can't canonot live by bread alone but by every word out the mouth of God.
There's a formula for confession that can help you to live your best life.
A law is simply a principle, based on a predictable consequence of an act.
Confession in Greek is homo-logeo, which means to say what has been said.
Chorus
There is a law for confession. You just say what God has said.
(Repeat Verse & Chorus)
Bridge
Speak the word, speak the word, speak the word,speak the word... Speak the word, speak the word, speak the word, you just speak the word.
(Chorus)
Bridge II
I can do all things through christ that strengthens me, greater is he that is in me, than he that is in the world. No weapons formed shall prosper, by his strips we are healed. We are healed, we are healed, we are healed we are healed.
(Chorus)

Meaning & Inspiration
The Law of Confession is a teaching song that treats confession as speaking what God has already said. The verse opens with the saying that man lives by every word out of the mouth of God, then explains confession through the Greek word homologeo, which means to say the same thing. A law is described as a principle tied to a predictable result.
The chorus keeps the idea simple and repeatable, and the bridge repeats "Speak the word" as a chant. A second bridge strings together lines familiar from Philippians, 1 John, and Isaiah, including "I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me" and "No weapons formed shall prosper". The song is closer to a spoken lesson set to music than to a narrative, and its message is that faith is voiced aloud. Readers who connect it to Scripture should note that the passages quoted speak of trust in God, and the song's claims about outcomes are its own application.
