This week’s featured song story comes to us from Jeremy Camp. We’re excited to share with you the story behind his single “Word Of Life,” a song about God’s never-ending love for us.
“When things get tough, things get hard our first initial reaction is to say ‘I don’t know if I can handle this.’ And I can just tell you there’s no where else to run. You can run to the world and turn your back on the Lord, but that’s where all the problems are. But Jesus, He offers peace, hope, joy…He offers the words of eternal life. I want to encourage you to stick to the only true source of life and that’s Jesus, because He gives us all that we need.” – Jeremy Camp

“Word Of Life” Lyrics
Word of life
Speak to my weary heart
Strengthen my broken parts
Lead me to Your open arms
Word of truth
Illuminate all these lies
The enemy speaks inside
In freedom I will rise
‘Cause You called me out from the grave
So I can live like I’ve been changed
There is a new song in my soul
And it begins when I breathe in
Your word of life
(Your word of life)
Spirit of God
Take me to a deeper place
Take me out of what is safe
And I will not be afraid
Spirit of God
Fill me with joy again
Springing up from within
It cannot be contained
‘Cause You called me out from the grave
So I can live like I’ve been changed
There is a new song in my soul
And it begins when I breathe in
Your word of life
The old has gone away
Only Your love remains
I am alive today
‘Cause You called me out, ooh
You called me out, ooh
‘Cause You called me out from the grave
So I can live like I’ve been changed
There is a new song in my soul
And it begins when I breathe in
Your word of life
Your word of life
Hey, the old has gone away
Only Your love remains
I am alive today
‘Cause You called me out
