Cleofoster Spencer - Ancient Path lyrics

[Verse 1] This path is old and worn The steps of those who've gone this way before Voices echo in the wind And we still can hear them sing “Take the journey up to the mountaintop Trace our footsteps to the heights of purpose Come join us Uncover the designs, look within the Father's mind And see the things that lie beyond the curvature of time” [Verse 2] These tracks are old but clear There's uniqueness in every voice we hear “I sacrificed the one - my only son The one through whom the promises would come” “I set the people free Led them to their destiny Face to face is how He spoke to me” “And I was careful to construct systems to instruct I taught them how to hear When His voice was rare” “Gather round me, come near to my side” I hear the ancient say “And I'll recount it for the final time Before I go my way” “I wrestled with the Lord and though he weakened me He changed my nature and He changed my identity The years have dimmed my eyes The light has gone from me But hear ye sons of Israel The future that I see” [Verse 3] It was here upon the harp That He found a man after His own heart From a shepherd to a king The Sweet Psalmist of Israel, hear him sing “Let's bring His presence home Let's make His laws our own And let His kingdom be forever established on my throne Let's speak of covenant and worship from within Tell of those who through great patience Endured and entered in” In their lives He hid His perfect will Only to be found By the ones who would delight in Him Dig deep and search it out When darkness fills the land And no one understands When surrounded by conditions That shake the hearts of men We'll stand among the wise And those who will arise To lead the nations to this pathway And open up their eyes This path is old and worn The steps of those who've gone this way before And our voices will ensure This ancient path will be traversed by many more!
