Song Lyrics

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.

Bridge:

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.

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.

Outro:

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.

Outro:

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.

Surmon Notes

Sermon: “The God Who Sees – Embracing the Word of Knowledge”

Texts: Genesis 16:13–14; Psalm 139:1; John 4:16–18; 1 Corinthians 12:7–8; Hebrews 4:13

Introduction:

Beloved, we live in a world filled with secrets—some we hide from others, some we hide from ourselves, and some we even try to hide from God. Yet today, the Holy Spirit invites us into the healing light of El Roi—the God who sees us completely and loves us perfectly.

The song Word of Knowledge, from Empowered: A Journey Through the Gifts of the Spirit, captures the beauty and vulnerability of being known by God. This song is not just a melody—it’s a ministry. It speaks of the Holy Spirit’s gift to reveal hidden truths, not to shame or expose, but to restore, redeem, and guide. Today, let’s walk through three truths about this powerful gift and the God who gives it.

1. God Sees What We Hide—and He Sees with Compassion

Scripture: Genesis 16:13–14; Psalm 139:1; Hebrews 4:13

In Genesis 16, Hagar is a woman on the run—pregnant, abandoned, and alone. But in her wilderness, she meets the Lord and declares, “Thou God seest me” (Genesis 16:13). She names Him El Roi—the God who sees.

In the song, we hear this echoed:

“El Roi, You see inside our fear, nothing hidden, all is clear.”

This is not the cold stare of a judge. This is the tender gaze of a Father who knows us, searches us, and meets us in our most broken places. Psalm 139:1 reminds us, “O LORD, Thou hast searched me and known me.” And Hebrews 4:13 says that “all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of Him with whom we have to do.”

But here is the good news: He sees us—and still He loves us. He sees the wounds we bury deep, the shame we try to cover, and the questions we’re too afraid to voice. And still He comes.

Application:

Stop hiding. God already sees. Come out of the shadows. Let His light find you—and you will discover it’s not to punish, but to heal.

2. The Word of Knowledge Reveals to Heal, Not Condemn

Scripture: John 4:16–18; 1 Corinthians 12:7–8

In John 4, Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well and tells her everything she’s ever done. Her past isn’t news to Him—and He reveals it, not to shame her, but to invite her into new life. One word of knowledge transformed her story.

The song captures this moment:

“Your truth uncovers hidden pain… Hearts are healed when You unseal.”

This is the essence of the spiritual gift Paul speaks of in 1 Corinthians 12:7–8:

“To one is given by the Spirit… the word of knowledge.”

This is a supernatural insight into something not known by natural means—given to bring healing, conviction, or direction.

But this gift must be handled with the character of Christ. As the song reminds us, knowledge alone can hurt—but when carried by the Spirit in humility, it sets the captives free.

Application:

Ask the Holy Spirit to cultivate not just the gift in you—but the character to steward it well. Speak only when led. Love always when speaking.

3. When We Are Seen by God, We Can Help Others Be Known

Scripture: John 4:28–30; 1 Corinthians 12:7; Hebrews 4:13

The Samaritan woman, after her encounter, becomes a messenger: “Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?” (John 4:29)

The woman who once hid now leads others to the light.

And so do we. The word of knowledge is not just personal—it’s communal. It’s a gift to profit all (1 Corinthians 12:7). It’s meant to equip the Body of Christ, to bring clarity where there’s confusion, and restoration where there’s brokenness.

The final lines of the song proclaim:

“We stand unveiled, in grace we’re freed. Your knowledge births a healing grace…”

Once we’ve been seen and healed, we can help others step into the light of freedom too.

Application:

Pray to become a safe place for others. Let your healing lead to your ministry. Ask the Holy Spirit to use you—to speak words of knowledge that lead people into encounters with El Roi.

Conclusion:

Beloved, the word of knowledge is a sacred gift. It’s not about information—it’s about transformation. It reveals what’s hidden so that what’s broken can be healed. It reminds us that El Roi sees us—and it calls us to see others with the same love.

May this be your prayer today:

“Lord, reveal what needs healing. Use me as a vessel of Your knowledge and compassion. May Your truth set hearts free.”

Amen.

Podcast Script

Podcast Episode Script: “Known and Loved – Encountering El Roi through the Word of Knowledge”

🎙️ [Gentle ambient music fades in]

Host (warmly):

Hey beloved, welcome back to the Empowered Worship Podcast—where we open the Word, the heart, and our ears to the voice of the Holy Spirit. I’m so glad you’re here with me today. Whether you’re tuning in while walking, worshipping, or just needing a quiet moment with God, this episode is for you.

Today, we’re diving into something deeply personal… and deeply powerful: the Word of Knowledge. And we’re doing it through the lens of the worship song “Word of Knowledge” from the Empowered: A Journey Through the Gifts of the Spirit album.

Host (conversationally):

Now, I want you to imagine something for a moment. What if someone looked you in the eyes and told you the one thing you’ve been carrying in secret—the fear you’ve buried, the pain you never voiced—and instead of judgment, they met you with grace? Healing. Freedom.

That’s what the Word of Knowledge is like when the Holy Spirit breathes it.

This song is anchored in one of the most breathtaking names of God—El Roi, “the God who sees me.” We first hear it from Hagar, in Genesis 16, when she’s running through the desert, unseen and forgotten. But God meets her. And suddenly, in her wilderness, she realizes—He sees me. Not just as a servant or a woman on the run—but as a soul in need of love and restoration.

Host (devotionally):

Let me read Psalm 139:1: “O Lord, thou hast searched me, and known me.”

That’s not just poetry. That’s promise.

You see, the Word of Knowledge isn’t about divine mind-reading. It’s about intimacy. It’s when God reveals something hidden—something only He could know—because He wants to heal it, bring clarity, or set someone free.

In the New Testament, Jesus models this in John 4. He meets the Samaritan woman at the well. He knows her story. He calls it out—not to embarrass her, but to invite her into transformation. And what does she do? She becomes the first evangelist in her village. One word of knowledge turned shame into testimony.

That’s the power of being seen by El Roi.

Host (reflectively):

The lyrics of “Word of Knowledge” bring this to life:

“Your truth uncovers hidden pain… hearts are healed when You unseal.”

Isn’t that what we all long for? To be known… and still loved? To be vulnerable… and still safe?

The Holy Spirit isn’t just revealing facts. He’s revealing the Father’s heart. He’s saying, “I see what no one else sees—and I love you still. And I want you whole.”

And sometimes… He’ll give you insight about someone else—not to impress, but to bless. To say, “I see you,” through your words or prayers. That’s the beauty of the gift—it’s not about power. It’s about compassion.

Host (personal moment):

I remember once in a prayer meeting, I felt the Spirit nudge me to tell someone, “God sees the notebook you threw away.” I hesitated—it sounded too strange. But when I spoke it, she burst into tears. That morning, she had ripped up a journal of her prayers because she felt like God wasn’t listening.

But He was. And in that moment, healing flowed. Why? Because the word of knowledge broke the lie of abandonment.

That’s what this gift does. It pulls us out of hiding. It lets us stand unveiled—in grace, in freedom.

Host (call to action):

Friend, can I ask you something gently?

Is there something you’ve been hiding—even from God? A wound? A memory? A place in your heart that feels too dark for anyone to see?

He sees it. And He’s not turning away. He’s turning toward you.

And maybe… just maybe, He wants to use you to speak His light into someone else’s shadow.

Host (prayerfully):

Let’s pray together.

El Roi, You are the God who sees us. Nothing is hidden from You—and that’s not something to fear, it’s something to rest in. Lord, we surrender the secret places today. We give You permission to speak, to reveal, and to heal. Give us ears to hear You. And give us hearts that carry Your words in love—not to impress, but to restore. May we be vessels of compassion, stewards of truth, and bearers of light. In Jesus’ name. Amen.

🎙️ [Soft music returns]

Host (closing warmly):

Thank you for spending this sacred space with me. If this message stirred something in you—if God spoke or brought healing—share it. And ask Him how you can carry that gift into someone else’s life.

Until next time, remember… You are seen. You are known. And you are loved—completely.

This is Empowered Worship, and I’m your host, signing off with peace, love, and the presence of El Roi.

Shalom.
