lyrics

Ancient Road (Newman, Gregg)
Refs: Jer 6:16; 18:15; Isa 57:14; 62:10; Prov4; 5; 8:20ff

Way of justice
Path of righteousness
Hidden by the years
Tangled thorns
Scattered boulders
Await the pioneers

Many saints
And many martyrs
Have found this ancient way
Wisdom spoke
Before the ages
That this is where I should stay.

Ch1
So I am standing at the crossroads
I seek the Ancient Road
I want to walk where the blessing is
Finding rest for my heavy load

Give me grace
Give me wisdom
To walk the path prepared
From and to, eternal blessing
The blessing you have declared

Face like flint
Heart like a lion
The Banner has been raised
Broad the road
Few that find it
I’ll follow the Ancient of Days

CH2
I will follow in his footsteps
Feet upon the stone
Led so far, by the Morning Star
I won’t be travelling alone.
