Word of God Speak

"Word of God Speak" was written by Bart Millard and Pete Kipley for MercyMe's second studio LP...Spoken For...released in 2002. Spoken For sold 28,000 copies in its first week, debuting at No. 41 on the Billboard 200 and peaked at No. 2 on the Christian Albums chart.

"Word of God Speak" uses sparse instrumentation, featuring only piano and strings to accompany Millard's vocals. The lyrics to "Word of God Speak" reflect on the idea that it is impossible to speak of an infinite God with a limited vocabulary. The inspiration for "Word of God Speak" came one night when Millard went to sleep thinking about how burned out he was. According to him, "I went to bed just really frustrated"... "It started feeling like everything I was saying was the same. I just thought, I have nothing else to say. So I went to bed with that on my mind". About 3 or 4 in the morning, Bart suddenly woke up. Grabbing his journal, he began to write: "I’m finding myself at a loss for words,And the funny thing is, it’s okay,The last thing I need is to be heard,But to hear what You would say,Word of God speak,Would you pour down like rain,Washing my eyes to see,Your majesty". And then he tucked away his journal and went back to sleep. A few weeks later in Nashville, MercyMe was finally putting the finishing touches on their new album, Spoken For. Rummaging through his things, Millard pulled out a journal and began to read. It’s vaguely familiar, he thinks, and it is my handwriting. These lyrics are amazing. And then the dreamlike moment came back to him...and soon became the beginning to one of MercyMe’s most popular songs. "Word of God Speak" is a truly beautiful ballad. A ballad that shows us music need not be complicated to be beautiful. A direct parallel to the God that offers us his unending love along that very same draw.
