Capo 3
G
In ancient times
Em
God built a monument
C G D
At the dawn of creation
G
He hallowed and blessed
Em
Those moments of rest
C D
That day of complete veneration
Em
That pillar He made
C
Not of stone, but of time
G
The hours were sacred
D
The idea divine
G
And the morning stars sang
Em
For joy they did shine
C D G
And shout, that first week of creation
G
And lest they forget
Em
He made angels’ food fall
C G D
Down from the sky, on all days but one
G
And He wrote it down
Em
For the sake of us all
C D
Among the ten rules on the stone
Em
Those rules about murder
C
And stealing, and lying
G D
Engraving with blazing finger, defying
G Em
Whoever in heaven or hell should endeavor
C D G
To change the commandments He wrote
D G C
Here is the patience of the saints
G D
Here are those who keep
Em C
The commandments of God
C D C
And the faith of Jesus
G
Then came God’s own Son
Em
To show us the way
C G D
He hallowed that same Sabbath day
G
The pure Lamb of God
Em
As our soil He trod
C D
In God’s perfect will He did stay
Em
‘Til heaven and earth
C
Shall indeed pass away
G
Not one dot or one dash
D
Will be changed, He did say
G
The apostles of old
Em
Kept and honored, we’re told
C D G
That same law that their Master obeyed
G
For three hundred years
Em
After our Savior died
C G D
And arose from the grave and ascended on high
G
The Christians respected
Em
The law in the stone
C D
The one written with finger divine
Em
But then came the day
C
Constantine was his name
D
The emperor who over Rome did reign
G
Tore down the old landmark
Em
The pillar of God
C D G
And erected the day of the sun
D G C
Here is the patience of the saints
G D
Here are those who keep
Em C
The commandments of God
C D C
And the faith of Jesus
G
As millennia passed
Em C
The memory of God’s pillar of time
G D
Was slowly erased
G Em
By the ceaseless waves of generations
C D
Of human traditions and days
Em
But God calls His people
C
Out from among them
G
To point to His word
D
And light up the darkness
G
And restore the knowledge
Em
Of God’s special covenant
C D G
Preserved from the dawning of time
Em C
Lest you think that the crowds
G D Em
Can’t be wrong today
C G
Remember the crowd
C D
In a land far away
Em C
The mob who blindly
G D
Rejected their King
Em C
And the pride of the priests
G D
And their deadly sting
Em C G D Em
As the jealous, lying accusations they bring
C Em D C
And they murder their humble Messiah
G
The beast left its mark
Em
On the pages of time
C
Pushed a heathen day
G D
In place of the divine
G
Thought to change times and laws
Em
The laws that God’s finger
C D
Engraved on the tables of stone
Em C
Those who oppose it, it tramples and kills
G D
That city that sits on seven hills
Em
That mark it causes
C
Small and great to receive
C
On forehead or hand
C D
On thought or in deed
Em C
It cares not whether you’re really deceived
Em D
Or just afraid, and so follow its lead
D G C
Here is the patience of the saints
G D
Here are those who keep
Em C
The commandments of God
C D C
And the faith of Jesus
Em C G
Remember (If you love Me, keep my
commandments)
Em C G
Remember (If you love Me, keep my
C
commandments)
C G
Remember
