Third Day - Your Words Lyrics
Lyrics
Let me hear Your words
Above all other voices
Above all the distractions in this world
Let me hear Your words
Above all of the voices
Above all the distractions in this world
For Your words bring life
And Your voice speaks promises
Lord, Your love offers more
Than anything else in this world
Your words give us life that’s never ending
Your words bring us love that never fails
Everything else will fade away
But what will remain
Are Your words
Let us speak Your words
More than ours, more than ever
Let us share Your love with all the world
The grass will wither and the flowers will fall
But the word of our God will last forever
The grass will wither and the flowers will fall
But the word of our God will last forever

Meaning & Inspiration
Third Day's "Your Words," featured on their 2015 album *Lead Us Back: Songs of Worship (Deluxe Edition)*, is a profound anthem that pierces through the noise of the world, calling for an unwavering focus on the divine. The song emerges as a powerful plea, not just to hear, but to internalize and live by the utterances of God. In a landscape saturated with competing voices and fleeting distractions, "Your Words" serves as a vital anchor, reminding us that the very essence of life and enduring promises are found in God's communication. The lyrics directly address the transformative power of God's voice, highlighting that it "brings life" and speaks "promises," qualities that far surpass any earthly offering, echoing sentiments found in Scripture like Jeremiah 29:11, which assures us of God's plans to give us hope and a future. The repeated declaration that "everything else will fade away, but what will remain are Your words" powerfully contrasts the ephemeral nature of worldly concerns with the eternal constancy of divine truth, much like Jesus’ own teaching in Matthew 24:35: "Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away." This emphasis on permanence and life-giving sustenance is a cornerstone of the song’s spiritual weight. Furthermore, the song transitions from a receptive stance to an active one, urging us to not only hear but also "speak Your words" and "share Your love with all the world." This call to discipleship, to be bearers of God's message, resonates deeply with the Great Commission. The verses comparing the transience of nature—the wilting grass and falling flowers—to the everlasting nature of God’s word directly mirrors Isaiah 40:8, which states, "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." This imagery powerfully underscores the unchanging reliability and ultimate authority of God’s truth. "Your Words" is more than just a worship song; it’s a declaration of faith in the enduring power and life-altering significance of God’s revealed truth, challenging listeners to prioritize the divine voice above all else.
