There, Samson had already become dedicated to God's service through God's chosen people, Israel. When I looked my finger was on the upper left of my Bible's left page, exactly upon Judges 14. Those hints led me to hold a new Holy Bible, wondering where Samson was, gave me confidence the Maker of answers had one waiting for my trusting finger. The Maker of all things made hinted in three ways about Samson. One day God hinted He was ready to speak of America's frightening condition. I had heard some say that the Word of God is alive and does speak when we seek it properly. "Word of God Speak" also won the Dove Awards for Song of the Year and Pop/Contemporary Song of the Year at the 35th GMA Dove Awards. It also topped the Billboard Hot Christian AC chart and the Radio & Records Christian AC and INSPO charts, and peaked at No. "Word of God Speak" spent 23 weeks atop the Billboard Christian Songs chart, the fifth longest running record for that chart it spent a total of 76 weeks on that chart altogether.

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. Written by Bart Millard and Pete Kipley, "Word of God Speak" uses sparse instrumentation, featuring only piano and strings to accompany Millard's vocals.
The standard has been changed."Word of God Speak" is a song by Christian rock band MercyMe. The tables have been turned, and now, Religion is endeavoring to prove that the bible is not inconsistent with Science. A few years ago, Science endeavored to show that it was not inconsistent with the bible. Science has succeeded in breaking the chains of theology. In matters of fact, the bible has ceased to be regarded as a standard. All that God told Moses, admitting the entire account to be true, is dust and ashes compared to the discoveries of Descartes, Laplace, and Humboldt. In the world of science, Jehovah was superseded by Copernicus, Galileo, and Kepler. For the establishment of facts, the word of man is now considered far better than the word of God. A few years ago, this book was appealed to in the settlement of all scientific questions but now, even the clergy confess that in such matters, it has ceased to speak with the voice of authority. It has lost power in the proportion that man has gained knowledge. It was produced by ignorance, and has been believed and defended by its author. If the writers of the various parts of the bible had known as much about the sciences as is now known by every intelligent man, the book never could have been written. “If the people of Europe had known as much of astronomy and geology when the bible was introduced among them, as they do now, there never could have been one believer in the doctrine of inspiration. Whence arose all the horrid assassinations of whole nations of men, women, and infants, with which the Bible is filled and the bloody persecutions, and tortures unto death and religious wars, that since that time have laid Europe in blood and ashes whence arose they, but from this impious thing called revealed religion, and this monstrous belief that God has spoken to man? The lies of the Bible have been the cause of the one, and the lies of the Testament of the other.”
It is better, far better, that we admitted, if it were possible, a thousand devils to roam at large, and to preach publicly the doctrine of devils, if there were any such, than that we permitted one such impostor and monster as Moses, Joshua, Samuel, and the Bible prophets, to come with the pretended word of God in his mouth, and have credit among us. It has been the most dishonourable belief against the character of the divinity, the most destructive to morality, and the peace and happiness of man, that ever was propagated since man began to exist. “The most detestable wickedness, the most horrid cruelties, and the greatest miseries, that have afflicted the human race have had their origin in this thing called revelation, or revealed religion.
