The Greatest Story Ever Told

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
