Ancient Story
That first Christmas Day
When God's son came
To this desert land where true love began
My heart will fly and my soul will sing
Of this love inside
Let it find it's wing
My eyes will see and my lips will say
Going on a journey where my savior lay
In a manger bed where a strange led
Mary to this place
We can find faith
To reach out our hands
Take this grain of sand
Falling through the tide
Where true love abides
Where angels sing
Where mercy flings
Open heaven's door
Brings us love once more
In this ancient story
Written down for us
By the scribes of old
The great story ever told
Born of heaven
God sent his son
To bring us love
And mercy on it's wing
Sing and shout for joy
Let the nations roar
Out this ancient song
Blessings for the one
Came divine and free
To bring this reckoning
All earth rejoice
Let this love bring voice
To this morning song
Where mercy longs
To bring us back again
To our saviors hand
We will fly free to the promise land
Where this love came here
By your grace we stand
From dark despair
Nothing else compares
To the joy I sing
Mercy on it's wing
Over ancient chords
We will sing of storms
That were made to route
Let this love ring out
In this ancient story
Written down for us
By the scribes of old
The great story ever told
Born of heaven
God sent his son
To bring us love
And mercy on it's wing
Up this starlit night
You brought hope and light
Sent the living word
To tell us what love's worth
We will bow and pray
Lord bring us love today
From the cradle born
By the world scorned
Up from the grave
For our souls to save
In this starlit night
You brought peace and light
Sent your only son
So we could run
We will bow and pray
Lord bring us love today
Let us dance and sing
Let us bring this dream
Of peace and light
To our hearts tonight
Made a triple cord
Father,spirit,son
Under God's great love
Lord make us one
In this ancient story
Written down for us
By the scribes of old
The great story ever told
Born of heaven
God sent his son
To bring us love
And mercy on it's wing
To bring us love
And mercy on it's wing
Mercy on it's wing
Make a triple cord
Father spirit son
Lord make us one
Mercy on it's wing
When God's son came
To this desert land where true love began
My heart will fly and my soul will sing
Of this love inside
Let it find it's wing
My eyes will see and my lips will say
Going on a journey where my savior lay
In a manger bed where a strange led
Mary to this place
We can find faith
To reach out our hands
Take this grain of sand
Falling through the tide
Where true love abides
Where angels sing
Where mercy flings
Open heaven's door
Brings us love once more
