Lyrics to “Your Word”

I have heard so many encouraging words concerning the songs from “The Word.”  The song we wrote to cover the epistles has been a really unique part of it.  We took 1 line from all 21 epistles and constructed the song around it.  Yesterday, as we sang, the video flipped through the Bible to each new book.

I have had many requests concerning the lyrics, so here they are:
