Here’s one of��the��tracks for which I wrote the lyrics from the new The Crowded House��album.

Here are the words …

Jesus the Word speaks in the dark

lighting the spark of all we see

Jesus the Word rules through his promises

Lord over history

Jesus heals with a word and commands the waves

Jesus speaks to the dead and he empties graves

Word of hope from above,

word of light and love,

word of peace ending strife,

bringing joy and life.

Jesus the Word mute at his trial

and when reviled upon the tree

Jesus the Word silenced by violence

drowned out at Calvary

Jesus silent no more as he gathers breath

Jesus steps from the tomb and the grip of death

Jesus the Word message of love

rising above this noisy world

Jesus the Word gathers his people

as his command is heard

Jesus given a name over every name

to the ends of the earth we proclaim his fame

Jesus the Word speaks to our fears

comforts our tears with words of peace

Let all with ears come now and hear his voice

Let all your doubting cease
