Have you been singing it right?


I remember back in secondary school days when we sang 'Ancients Words' during morning assembly. I loved the song so much but could hardly sing along and just lip-synced because I was not acquainted with the lyrics.

The song reminds us of God's written word that has survived elimination and still lives on to change the lives of those who cling to it.

If you have been in such situation or still are, here are the exact words in the inspiring and powerful song by Michael W. Smith, Ancients Words. Enjoy!

Verse 1
Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart
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
Ancient words ever true
Changing me, and changing you.
We have come with open hearts
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.

Emperor Tewodros II ruled over Ethiopia from 1855 till his death in 1868. His rule brought considerable development and change to the military and the structure of governance such that his era is described as the beginning of Modern Ethiopia. He was born in 1818 and became king at the age of 37. His father Hailu Welde Giyorigis was the ruler of the Qwara district. At the time, Ethiopia had no single ruler but rulers of various districts who gained more as they conquered other districts. He joined his brother’s army at an early age and served as a protector of the Qwara district until 1839 when his brother was killed, and Qwara was captured by Empress Menan of Gondor.
