About this Hymn

The aim of all Scripture, God's written word, is to point us to Jesus, God's living Word. Whenever we read the Bible or hear it preached, we have the opportunity to encounter the crucified and risen Christ. This hymn is a prayer, humbly asking God to remove anything that would keep us from seeing more clearly the glory of Jesus. – Bob Kauflin

Lyrics

Verse 1
Prepare our hearts, O God; help us to receive; break the hard and stony ground; help our unbelief. Plant your word down deep in us; cause it to bear fruit. Open up our ears to hear; come lead us in your truth.

Chorus
Show us Christ; show us Christ. O God, reveal your glory through the preaching of your word until ev'ry heart confesses Christ is Lord.

Verse 2
Your word is living light upon our darkened eyes, guards us through temptations, makes the simple wise. Your word is food for famished ones, freedom for the slave, riches for the needy soul— come speak to us today.

Bridge
Where else can we go, Lord, where else can we go? You have the words of eternal life!
