   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 
    D                   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)
