Unchanging Word

Here is what I was looking for to share with you when I ran across the earlier song. You'll notice this one is laid out differently than the previous one. This was constructed in hymn meter. But anyway, I just wrote it as text. My friend Chandi is having a go at coming up with a melody:

UNCHANGING WORD Bobby Gilles

Unchanging Word that has no end;
It sets me free yet holds me in.
Delivers from the power of sin.
Unchanging Word that has no end.

Unchanging Word that draws us near;
Its message pure; its meaning clear.
Lights darkened corners -- casts out fear.
Unchanging Word that draws us near

optional chorus

You speak to us. You speak to us. Your Word is true; You speak to us.


Unchanging Word by which we're blessed,
It trains us in all righteousness.
Objective truth; sure promises.
Unchanging Word by which we're blessed.

Unchanging Word, our Northern Star --
A guide no matter where we are.
Shines even in the midnight hour;
Unchanging Word, our Northern Star.

(repeat chorus)

Unchanging Word, eternal truth.
When we fall short it brings reproof.
Dear Lord, it pulls us back to You;
Unchanging Word, eternal truth.

Unchanging Word, a mighty sword
Wielded by the risen Lord.
Victorious forevermore --
Unchanging Word, a mighty sword.

(repeat chorus)
