(Michael W Smith)

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world,
Oh let the ancient words impart
Courage, peace, a loving heart
Words of Life, words of Hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us Home
CHORUS:
Ancient words ever true
Changing me, and changing you
Oh let the ancient words impart
A moving, quick incisive dart
Holy words of our Faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ
Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
Courage, peace, a loving heart
Oh let the ancient words impart
CHORUS x4
A moving, quick incisive dart
Oh let the ancient words impart
