His Word Is Like a Fire

“‘Is not My word like fire?’ declares the LORD, ‘and like a hammer which shatters a rock?'” | Jeremiah 23:29

Lyrics and Music by Benjamin Gulick

Lord this day your people come to meet
To hear your Word and all its judgments preached—
Pierce our hearts with Your two-edged sword
Bring to bear, the power of Your Word

His Word is like a fire, like a hammer, like a sword
Eternal and inspired by the mouth of God, our Lord
Bringing mercy to the humble, and confounding all the proud
From the highest throne in heaven, the Almighty’s voice resounds

We are weak, like sheep we’ve gone astray
And turned our feet to many sinful ways
Make our ears again to know Your voice
Grant us grace to listen and rejoice 

His Word is like a fire, like a hammer, like a sword 
Eternal and inspired by the mouth of God, our Lord
Bringing mercy to the humble, and confounding all the proud 
From the highest throne in heaven, the Almighty’s voice resounds 

His judgments are true 
His precepts are right 
His testimonies sure
His law is our delight (x2)

His Word is like a fire, like a hammer, like a sword 
Eternal and inspired by the mouth of God, our Lord
Bringing mercy to the humble, and confounding all the proud 
From the highest throne in heaven, the Almighty’s voice resounds
