And On That Day - Phil Keaggy

In a little corner of the world lived a maiden

Pure at 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 the 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

For through the young and blessed Mary

Came the greatest gift of all
