The Greatest Story Ever Told

Lyrics

I started a new book last night The words were treasures full of light They painted pictures never seen By me in my humanity I read about a yesterday Where in a land so far away A Son of God from Heaven came To heal the sick and lost hearts saved Then I realized as the pages turned As my mind raced and my heart burned That I was just about to learn My being to behold A life that no man could begin A peace only that God could send I'd just bеgun to comprehend The grеatest story ever told I read on and I began to cry The story changed, the Son had died There would be no happy end I felt empty and, oh, so lost within But then the greatest thing occurred The Son arose and appeared unhurt He'd had to die, that was the plan Sacrificed for the sins of man Then I realized as the pages turned As my mind raced and my heart burned That I was just about to learn My being to behold A life that no man could begin A peace only God could send I'd just begun to comprehend The greatest story ever told Then suddenly, I began to see That though this tale seemed beyond belief His truths have become real to me And I hungered to know why I realized that this book was more Than just a myth from times before It was the map to Heaven's door And I gave the Son my life For I have realized as the pages turned As my mind raced and my heart burned That I was just about to learn My being to behold A life that no man could begin A peace only God could send I'd just begun to comprehend The greatest story ever told I realized as the pages turned My mind raced and my heart burned That I was just about to learn My being to behold A life that no man could begin A peace only God could send I'd just begun to finally comprehend The greatest story ever told As my mind raced and my heart burned That I was just about to learn My being to behold A life that no man could begin A peace only God could send I'd just begun to comprehend The greatest story ever told
