Lyrics
Verse 1
It's not just history that we're reading
It's still living it's still breathing
And in its pages we hear God's voices
Not one time has it ever come back void
Chorus
Not one word of God has changed
Every promise still remains
Who he was, he is today
Not one word of God has changed
Verse 2
It's where I learned to love my enemies
And no one's ever out of reach
Each line has power to change regret
And it reminds me there's no sin He won't forget
Chorus
Cause not one word of God has changed
Every promise still remains
Who he was, he is today
Not one word of God has changed
Who he was, he is today
Not one word of God has changed
Verse 3
There's forgiveness in its message
There's a path to new direction
And for the brokenhearted it restores
And the lost are found by its word
Chorus
Not one word of God has changed
Every promise still remains
Who he was, he is today
Not one word of God has changed
Chorus
Not one word of God has changed
Every promise still remains
Who he was, he is today
Not one word of God has changed
Who he was, he is today
Not one word of God has changed

Meaning & Inspiration
Not One Word describes the Bible as living, unchanging and powerful. The first verse says that the Scripture is not just history but still living and breathing, where God's voice is heard and which never comes back void. The chorus repeats that not one word of God has changed, every promise remains and who He was He is today.
The next verse says it is where the singer learned to love enemies, that no one is out of reach, and that each line has power to change regret, and the third says there is forgiveness in its message, a path to new direction, restoration for the brokenhearted and finding the lost. The themes come from Hebrews 4:12 on the living word, Isaiah 55:11 on the word not returning void, Malachi 3:6 and Hebrews 13:8 on God not changing, and Matthew 24:35. The steady refrain makes it a clear affirmation of Scripture.
