Ancient words 

Changing me

And changing you

We have come

With open hearts

Oh let the ancient words impart

This is my latest song obsession. First it must be said that I adore the work of Michael W. Smith. He always performs with a clarity & reverence that fills me. And when he's working with the poetry of "Ancient Words" by Lynn DeShazo, it's hard not to create a living, breathing testimony to the power of God's words.

Holy words long preserved

for our walk in this world,

They resound with God's own heart

Oh, let the Ancient words impart

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

Indeed - words given to men from the heart of God himself. 

My darling husband is a wonderful musician who lends his God-given talents to the Praise Band at our church. They performed this song a couple of months ago, so it was on heavy play in our home as he rehearsed his part. 

I find myself singing the song in my head sometimes - like the beautiful prayer it is.
