Chords with lyrics
G+G
In ancient times
E minorEm
God built a monument
C majorC G+G D MajorD
At the dawn of creation
G+G
He hallowed and blessed
E minorEm
Those moments of rest
C majorC D MajorD
That day of complete veneration
E minorEm
That pillar He made
C majorC
Not of stone, but of time
G+G
The hours were sacred
D MajorD
The idea divine
G+G
And the morning stars sang
E minorEm
For joy they did shine
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And shout, that first week of creation
G+G
And lest they forget
E minorEm
He made angels? food fall
C majorC G+G D MajorD
Down from the sky, on all days but one
G+G
And He wrote it down
E minorEm
For the sake of us all
C majorC D MajorD
Among the ten rules on the stone
E minorEm
Those rules about murder
C majorC
And stealing, and lying
D MajorD D MajorD
Engraving with blazing finger, defying
G+G E minorEm
Whoever in heaven or hell should endeavor
C majorC D MajorD G+G
To change the commandments He wrote
D MajorD G+G C majorC
Here is the patience of the saints
G+G D MajorD
Here are those who keep
E minorEm C majorC
The commandments of God
C majorC D MajorD C majorC
And the faith of Jesus
G+G
Then came God?s own Son
E minorEm
To show us the way
C majorC G+G D MajorD
He hallowed that same Sabbath day
G+G
The pure Lamb of God
E minorEm
As our soil He trod
C majorC D MajorD
In God?s perfect will He did stay
E minorEm
?Til heaven and earth
C majorC
Shall indeed pass away
G+G
Not one dot or one dash
D MajorD
Will be changed, He did say
G+G
The apostles of old
E minorEm
Kept and honored, we?re told
C majorC D MajorD G+G
That same law that their Master obeyed
G+G
For three hundred years
E minorEm
After our Savior died
C majorC G+G D MajorD
And arose from the grave and ascended on high
G+G
The Christians respected
E minorEm
The law in the stone
C majorC D MajorD
The one written with finger divine
E minorEm
But then came the day
C majorC
Constantine was his name
D MajorD
The emperor who over Rome did reign
G+G
Tore down the old landmark
E minorEm
The pillar of God
C majorC D MajorD G+G
And erected the day of the sun
D MajorD G+G C majorC
Here is the patience of the saints
G+G D MajorD
Here are those who keep
E minorEm C majorC
The commandments of God
C majorC D MajorD C majorC
And the faith of Jesus
G+G
As millennia passed
E minorEm C majorC
The memory of God?s pillar of time
G+G D MajorD
Was slowly erased
G+G E minorEm
By the ceaseless waves of generations
C majorC D MajorD
Of human traditions and days
E minorEm
But God calls His people
C majorC
Out from among them
G+G
To point to His word
D MajorD
And light up the darkness
G+G
And restore the knowledge
E minorEm
Of God?s special covenant
C majorC D MajorD G+G
Preserved from the dawning of time
E minorEm C majorC
Lest you think that the crowds
G+G D MajorD E minorEm
Can?t be wrong today
C majorC G+G
Remember the crowd
C majorC D MajorD
In a land far away
E minorEm C majorC
The mob who blindly
G+G D MajorD
Rejected their King
E minorEm C majorC
And the pride of the priests
G+G D MajorD
And their deadly sting
E minorEm C majorC G+G D MajorD E minorEm
As the jealous, lying accusations they bring
C majorC E minorEm D MajorD C majorC
And they murder their humble Messiah
G+G
The beast left its mark
E minorEm
On the pages of time
C majorC
Pushed a heathen day
G+G D MajorD
In place of the divine
G+G
Thought to change times and laws
E minorEm
The laws that God?s finger
C majorC D MajorD
Engraved on the tables of stone
E minorEm C majorC
Those who oppose it, it tramples and kills
G+G D MajorD
That city that sits on seven hills
E minorEm
That mark it causes
C majorC
Small and great to receive
C majorC
On forehead or hand
C majorC D MajorD
On thought or in deed
E minorEm C majorC
It cares not whether you?re really deceived
E minorEm D MajorD
Or just afraid, and so follow its lead
D MajorD G+G C majorC
Here is the patience of the saints
G+G D MajorD
Here are those who keep
E minorEm C majorC
The commandments of God
C majorC D MajorD C majorC
And the faith of Jesus
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Remember (If you love Me, keep my
commandments)
E minorEm C majorC G+G
Remember (If you love Me, keep my
C majorC
commandments)
C majorC G+G
Remember
