Phil Keaggy — And On That Day lyrics

Lyrics

In a little corner of the world lived a maiden
Pure in heart, good in deed, full of grace, gentle rose
An angelic salutation, holy word, annunciation
She’s to be the chosen mother of Jesus, our Lord
And as she listened to the voice
With her gaze upon the splendor
Love embraced her open heart
And she conceived the Holy Lord
Behold the handmaid
Behold Your servant
Be it done unto me According to Your word
And on that day was put in motion
The means of our redemption
And the way was opened up As a highway to our God
And a child was born to us And to us a Son was given
For through the young and blessed Mary
Came the greatest gift of all
In a little time there would be a celebration
Elizabeth would bear a son, they will call his name John
He will go before the Lord as a faithful messenger
He’ll prepare the way for the Lamb, who’s to come
And on that day was put in motion
The means of our redemption
And the way was opened up As a highway to our God
And a child was born to us And to us a Son was given
For through the young and blessed Mary
Came the greatest gift of all
Holy, holy, holy redeemer
Holy, holy is the Lord
Blessed is He who comes to free us Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord
And on that day was put in motion
The means of our redemption
And the way was opened up As a highway to our God
And a child was born to us And to us a Son was given
Through the young and blessed Mary
Came the greatest gift of all
And on that day was put in motion
The means of our redemption
And the way was opened up As a highway to our God
And a child was born to us And to us a Son was given
Through the young and blessed Mary
Came the greatest gift of all
Ah, the greatest gift of all
Ah, the greatest gift of all
Ah, the greatest gift of all
