Ancient words ever true changing me and changing you...

Lately Daniel has been very interested in God and the Bible. He has been asking a lot of questions and has listened closely in the answers. Of course, as his mother this brings such joy to my heart. The other day Daniel told me that he wants to go to heaven when he dies. I asked him if he knew was sins were, he said no, so we talked about it a little bit. I decided to read to him the story of the crucifixion. He sat on my lap looking at the picture in his children's bible of Jesus on the cross. As I read about the men nailing through his hands Daniel gently touched each of his hands in the place where it showed Christ was nailed. He had this look as if he was thinking deeply about what we had just read. What a blessing it is to be able to teach our children these ancient words. I love this song by Michael W. Smith. It is a beautiful song of worship. It came to mind when pondering the power of God's word. I know that not all of you who read my blog can see the videos so here are the lyrics for you to read.

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world,
They resound with God's own heart
Oh, let the ancient words impart.

Words of life, words of hope
Give us strength, help us cope
In this world, where e'er we roam
Ancient words will guide us home.

Chorus:
Ancient words ever true
Changing me, and changing you.
We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Holy words of our faith
Handed down to this age.
Came to us through sacrifice
Oh heed the faithful words of Christ.

Holy words long preserved
For our walk in this world.
They resound with god's own heart
Oh let the ancient words impart.

Chorus x4

We have come with open hearts
Oh let the ancient words impart.
