Ancient Words - as sung by Jack Marti

Well, here's my first video for 2011. It's been well over a month since I've done a video, because, alas, I have been less than well, and my voice has not been up to it. I love this song, though, so i thought it would be a good one to start the new year with!

Written By: Lynn DeShazo
Musical Adaptation By: Michael W. Smith

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart
O let the ancient words impart
Words of life, words of hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world where'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home

Ancient words ever true
Changing me and changing you
We have come with open hearts
O let the ancient words impart

Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age
Came to us through sacrifice
O heed the faithful words of Christ
Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world
They resound with God's own heart
O let the ancient words impart

I love this song as well, in fact you have inspired me to pick up my guitar and learn it. What kind of guitar are you playing here?

[guitmartiman]

@lladnekj It's a Copely autographed by Taylor Swift. One of Michael's friends wants me to sell it for him on Ebay.

@lladnekj Sorry, that should be Copley!
