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.

Chorus:
Ancient words ever true
changing me, and changing you.
we have come with open hearts
oh let the ancient words impart.
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.
they resound with god's own heart
oh let the ancient words impart.

Chorus x4

We have come with open hearts
oh let the ancient words impart.
