we bow our hearts to the ground
turn our wills to you and pray
'as this book is read,
breathe life into the dead.'
jesus lord, living word
piercing our souls like a sword
cut through our defence
and make us wholly yours.
and the people said 'amen'
and the people said 'amen'
o church arise and stand in praise
heaven speaks and hearts are changed
as we hear his word we sing, proclaim,
'jesus!' amen.
o spirit come light our eyes
for without you we are blind
dull in sin remove
the scales so we can see
o father make us like your son
as we hear your word today
guide us into life
and show us how to love
and the people said 'amen'
and the people said 'amen'

Still working on this one. It has a new verse since I posted it last. Is the spirit verse okay, or is that father/son stuff? Would you sing it?

Sounds like Calvin to me. I'd sing it.
Seconded. Though you might want a comma in the third line to help the reader.
