Greatest Story Ever Told

When I was a child
 I heard a great story
 Of kingdoms and empires
 And prophets of old
 Of heroes and martyrs
 Who died for their cause
 And through every chapter
 The story was told
 Of redemption and love
 Sometimes written in red
 Headed right to the heart
 Of every woman and man
 CHORUS
 And down through the ages
 Again and again
 It's the greatest story ever told
 Straight from the pages
 From beginning to end
 It's the greatest story ever told
 Wise could never begin to explain
 The measure of grace
 This wonderous book holds
 It's more than a fable
 Or and old fairy tale
 It's the greatest, greatest story ever told
 For thousands of years
 This pearl of great wisdom
 Has weathered through changes
 And lasted through wars
 Many a doubter
 Has risen and fallen
 Built the story had never once
 Abandoned it's course
 For the author still speaks
 To the listening one
 Through the voices of men
 And through the pages
 The pages of love
 REPEAT CHORUS
 This world that we live in could never contain
 The wealth of compassion
 This wondrous book holds
 It's more than a fable or an old fairy tale
 It's the greatest, greatest story ever told
