Lord of the Word once made flesh for our healing, Word of salvation and hope for all nations, hear as we pray for your world and its peoples- let your Word run, let your Word run! Lord of the scholars who toiled in translation, sifting through manuscripts God-breathed and hallowed, loosing your word to be light in our darkness- let your Word run, let your Word run! Lord of the linguists who serve in the par places, strive with strange sounds and reduce them to writing, bringing your Word to your many tongued children- let your Word run, let your Word run! Lord of the workers who harness the airwaves, writers musicians, technicians and teachers, winging your Word into fast closing countries- let your Word run, let your Word run! Lord of the pastors who preach from the pulpits, seeking to nurture their heart hungry hearers, pierce minds and hearts with the sword of your Spirit- let your Word run, let your Word run! Lord of mere Christians who chat with their neighbors, sharing in friendship their hope in the Gospel, speak through our lives by the power of your Spirit- let your Word run, let your Word run! Lord of your church, now we worship before you, bless you for speaking your Word in Christ Jesus, quicken our prayers by the breath of your spirit- let your Word run, let your Word run!
