The Word Is So Near

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
