Track 2: Word of Knowledge
Description
“Word of Knowledge” explores how God reveals hidden truths for the sake of redemption, healing, and encouragement. Drawing from John 4:16–19 and Psalm 139:1–4, the lyrics portray a God who intimately knows every corner of our hearts—past, present, and future. By invoking El Roi (“The God Who Sees Me”), this song highlights the comforting reality that no struggle, secret, or circumstance escapes the Lord’s notice.
Musically, “Word of Knowledge” carries a contemplative softness that crescendos into moments of awe. The verses paint a picture of humanity’s hidden pains and the walls we erect to protect ourselves. Then, the chorus lifts our gaze heavenward, celebrating the God who sees, understands, and breaks into our lives with timely revelations. Whether it’s a kind word that unlocks someone’s heart or a supernatural insight that leads to salvation, the Holy Spirit’s gift of knowledge shatters isolation and fear.
In the bridge, the focus turns to intercession, urging listeners to pray that the Church would steward this gift with humility and love. We recognize that knowledge, when wielded without compassion, can be hurtful or prideful. Yet, when submitted to the Holy Spirit, a simple “word of knowledge” can transform lives by revealing God’s intimate care for each individual.
By the end of this track, the listener is called to embrace the vulnerability of being known by God and to extend that grace to others. In a world riddled with secrets and hidden wounds, “Word of Knowledge” stands as a testament to how God’s truth sets us free and brings restoration to broken hearts.
Track 2: Word of Knowledge
Key Scriptures:
1 Corinthians 12:8, John 4:16–19, Psalm 139:1–4
Hebrew Name of God:
El Roi (“The God Who Sees Me,” Genesis 16:13)
Devotion
The word of knowledge is the Holy Spirit granting us information or insight we couldn’t possibly know through natural means. Jesus displayed this gift powerfully when He spoke to the Samaritan woman at the well (John 4:16–19). He revealed intimate details of her life, not to shame or condemn her, but to awaken her heart to God’s love. This encounter not only transformed her but led many in her town to believe in Jesus.
In Psalm 139:1–4, we’re reminded that God knows every thought before we speak, every step before we take it. He is El Roi—“The God Who Sees Me.” This name underscores His omniscience and deep personal knowledge of each person’s life. When we operate in the word of knowledge, we tap into a fraction of that divine perspective, often bringing encouragement, guidance, or conviction.
However, such supernatural insight must be exercised with humility and love. Paul emphasizes in 1 Corinthians 8:1 that “knowledge puffs up while love builds up.” Even a genuine revelation from God can be misused if delivered in pride or without compassion. A word of knowledge is meant to bring restoration and hope, leading people closer to Jesus.
In today’s world, many people hide behind social media images and secret hurts, longing to be truly known. When the Holy Spirit grants a word of knowledge, it can break through layers of shame and isolation, revealing that God is not distant or disinterested but actively pursuing them. The Church needs this gift more than ever to reach hearts hardened by distrust and skepticism.
Reflection/Prayer:
- Reflect on a time when God revealed something to you about another person’s need or situation. How did you respond?
- Ask El Roi to open your spiritual eyes so that you can lovingly minister to someone who feels unseen or misunderstood.
- Pray for the global Church to handle this gift responsibly, always seeking to glorify God rather than self.

WORD OF KNOWLEDGE
Verse 1:
El Roi, You see inside our fear,
Nothing hidden, all is clear.
You know each secret, each silent cry,
Reaching us with truth on high.
Chorus:
Word of knowledge, come reveal,
Hearts are healed when You unseal.
Your truth uncovers hidden pain,
El Roi, we’re found in You again.
Verse 2:
We’ve long concealed our wounded past,
Afraid of light that shines too fast.
But Your compassion sees it all,
El Roi, we answer to Your call.
Chorus:
Word of knowledge, come reveal,
Hearts are healed when You unseal.
Your truth uncovers hidden pain,
El Roi, we’re found in You again.

No depth of sorrow leaves Your sight,
In darkest rooms, You bring Your light.
Help us trust the words You speak,
Finding hope where we are weak.

Word of knowledge, come reveal,
Hearts are healed when You unseal.
Your truth uncovers hidden pain,
El Roi, we’re found in You again.

El Roi, God who sees each need,
We stand unveiled, in grace we’re freed.
Your knowledge births a healing grace,
We rest secure in Your embrace.

El Roi, God who sees each need,

Your knowledge births a healing grace,
We rest secure in Your embrace.
