Lyrics And On That Day - Phil Keaggy

And On That Day

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
