Ancient Words
by Michael W. Smith

Verse 1:

     G     D       G
Holy words long preserved

        C            D/F#
for our walk in this world,

       Em         D/F#      G
They resound with God's own heart

            C       D       G
Oh, let the Ancient words impart.

Verse 2:

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:

        G          D
Ancient words ever true

         Am      G/B      C
Changing me, and changing you.

        Em        D/F#  G
We have come with open  hearts

           C       D       G
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Verse 3:

Holy words of our Faith
Handed down to this age.
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.

Verse 4:

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world.
They resound with God's own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart.
