Ancient of Days [Songwriter Demo]: Christmas Pop/Rock
For those lost in the mystery and beauty of the infant Christ.
βAncient of Daysβ is a Christmas pop or rock worship song about the wonder of the all-powerful Creator choosing to come as a fragile, vulnerable infant.

Driven by a Latin-inspired groove, it sits in a comfortable one-octave range and can be sung by male or female lead vocalists. Iβve even arranged it for SAT choirβwith an intro of βO Come, O Come, Emmanuelββand seen amateur singers pull it off beautifully.
The minor key, strong melodic hook, and compelling worship message make βAncient of Daysβ a natural show-stopper for Christmas services, concerts, or special features.
These demos are songwriter recordings intended to highlight the songβs potential for artists, worship leaders, and producers.
This underlying song is available for recording and licensing for:
Artist and worship releases (albums, EPs, singles)
Church Christmas services and special events
Faith-based media, film, and sync opportunities
Sheet music for the choir arrangement is also available.

I wrote this song while I was in college, to remind myself and others that the Jesus we talk about each Christmas isnβt just a cute little baby, but the Saviour of mankind and the very One who spoke mankind into being. He gave everything for us, and we owe him everything.
I had so much fun working with the Latin groove of this song, inspired by some music Iβd fallen in love with in my jazz-focused college courses. Itβs been performed publicly twiceβonce for a Christmas service by talented church musicians, and later, by an amateur adult choir I was directing. A live recording of the former was also released as a demo in 2007.

What can I bring? What can I give
To the infant God who gave me breath?
If I could give Him anything
My heart and soul is what Iβd bring.
And I will give this Child my life
And I will serve Him until death
I give to Him all my praise
This precious BabeβAncient of Days.
The Son of God, I see You here
In a lowly manger full of hay.
The angel hosts sang out the news:
βThe salvation of man is born today!β
And even now I fall to my knees
And I worship the One and Only God
For I know I have been brought to a holy place
This newborn BabeβAncient of Days
For Who has gone up to heaven and come down?
Who holds the wind and water in His hand?
For the same God who created everything I see
Today has Himself become a man.
No one can know the price He paid
He left behind His heavβnly place
To save my life He lived and died
And now I gratefully seek His face.
And even now I fall to my knees
And I worship the One and Only God
For I know I have been brought to a holy place
This newborn BabeβAncient of Days
This precious newborn BabeβAncient of Days!
