POWER IN THE WORD

Описание: “Power in the Word” is a Heavy Metal worship declaration rooted in 1 Corinthians 1:17–25, proclaiming that the Gospel itself is the power of God, not human wisdom, signs, or messengers. From a full preterist perspective, the song confronts first-century Jerusalem (Ariel) with fulfilled prophecy, judgment, and grace, while affirming that Christ’s Cross — though horrific and foolish to the unbelieving mind — is the very means by which God revealed His power and established His true family. Aggressive, reverent, and uncompromising, this song exalts Christ Jesus as POWER incarnate.

Verse 1
Blessed is not the womb that bore Him
Nor the breasts that gave Him life
Blessed are those who hear the Word
And keep it burning in the fight
They cried for signs, they wanted proof
But truth stood right before their eyes
The kingdom came by power displayed
Not by spectacle or lies
Pre-Chorus
One greater than Jonah stands right here
One greater than Solomon speaks
Stone laid firm in Zion’s ground
But the blind refuse to see

Chorus
CHRIST JESUS IS POWER!
The Word made flesh proclaimed
THE GOSPEL IS THE WEAPON!
Not wisdom, not a name
To the saved it’s life eternal
To the lost it sounds insane
But we shout a BIG AMEN!
To the power of His reign

Verse 2
Ariel, Ariel — city under siege
Pressed down to the dust, whispering from beneath
Eyes are closed, hearts are dull
They honor lips, deny the truth
Cherry-picked the sacred words
While rejecting living proof
They asked, “Who sinned to cause this pain?”
Pointed fingers, cast their blame
But the works of God were standing there
Unashamed, uncontained

Pre-Chorus 2
The message stands though men reject
The Word cuts deep, divides the ground
Not by speaker, not by style
But by truth that levels crowns

Chorus
CHRIST JESUS IS POWER!
The Word made flesh proclaimed
THE GOSPEL IS THE WEAPON!
Not wisdom, not a name
To the saved it’s life eternal
To the lost it sounds insane
But we shout a BIG AMEN!
To the power of His reign

Breakdown (Half-Time / Spoken-Shouted)
The cross is brutal
The cross is shame
A horror to the natural mind
They mock the blood
They curse the tree
Calling wisdom “blind”
But what they call foolish
Is God’s decree
The power that crushed the grave
Judgment fell, the age collapsed
And the Son was raised
AMEN!

Bridge
The strong man armed was overthrown
A stronger One came in
The kingdom marched with finger of God
And the plundered house was His
No divided throne
No fractured reign
His word stood firm and true
Family born not of flesh or law
But of hearing what He do

Final Chorus (Key Change / Gang Vocals)
CHRIST JESUS IS POWER!
The Cross is victory
THE GOSPEL IS THE POWER!
God’s strength revealed in weakness seen
Foolishness to those who perish
But life to you and me
So we shout a BIG AMEN!
To the Word that set us free

Outro
Stone rejected, now cornerstone
Zion shaken, kingdom shown
Let the Lord speak — we will stand
Built as one…
WE ARE FAMILY
