Lyrics
Verse 1
Your word oh God is life to my soul
And it's healing to me
Your word oh God is light to my path
Verse 2
Though the grasses wither
And the flowers will fade
But your word will remain
Your word oh God is beauty to me
Verse 3
Broken lord I come for your word to invade
As I stand on my knees
Your word oh God is anointing to rule
Chorus
When vision are blur to lead
When prophecy-tongues are frail
Your word will remain my sight
I loose me to follow you
Verse 4
Your word oh God is our weapon to frame
Bringing nations to light
Your word oh God is light on hills
Verse 5
Though the righteous falls
But he rises again at the might of your word
Your word oh God is assurance to me.
Outro
Nothing else matters
Nothing else will do

Meaning & Inspiration
"Your Word Oh God" builds an extended meditation on scripture's permanence by attaching a different quality to God's word in nearly every line: life, healing, light, beauty, anointing, weapon, assurance. A recurring image contrasts withering grass and fading flowers with the word that remains, borrowing a well-known Old Testament comparison between the temporary nature of created things and the lasting nature of what God has spoken. The chorus turns from description to confession, admitting that vision can blur and prophetic words can prove frail, while insisting that scripture alone remains reliable enough to guide a follower's steps. Later verses widen the word's role from personal guidance to public impact, describing it as a weapon capable of bringing nations to light and as the strength behind a righteous person's recovery after falling. The closing lines strip the song down to a simple conclusion, that nothing else matters and nothing else will do, treating every other quality praised earlier as ultimately secondary to the word itself.
