The Word is so near
To your heart and your tongue
With the One you confess
And acknowledge the Son
With the other believe
And are justified
And find life in knowing
It was for you He died

No it's not up in heaven
Where your thoughts could not reach
Nor beyond the ocean
On some distant beach
No, the word is so near
In the innermost part
It's alive on your lips
It abides in your heart

The Word is so near
To your heart and your tongue
With the One you confess
And acknowledge the Son
With the other believe
And are justified
And find life in knowing
It was for you He died
