A song to set us free,
Of God, the Wisdom and the Word,
The Keystone and the Key.
2 For Wisdom guides the flow of life
And governs, hour by hour,
The forces of the universe,
The fragrance of a flow'r.
3 And faith, awakened, hears the word
That Abraham must move,
And slaves of Pharaoh take the road
To freedom, law, and love.
4 The Wisdom and the Word are one
When flesh and bone and breath
Reveal the human face of God,
The child of Nazareth.
5 Disfigured on a Roman cross,
Extinguished and absurd,
By faith we praise the pow'r of God,
The Wisdom and the Word.
6 Arising over earthly pow'rs,
Our Savior has begun
To catch them in a web of love
And weave them into one.
7 Praise God, the Wisdom and the Word,
Till all the world can see
That Jesus is the First and Last,
The Keystone and the Key. Topics: Word Used With Tune: LAND OF REST
This Is a Story Full of Love
