4Him - Greatest Story Ever Told Lyrics
When I was a childI heard a great storyOf kingdoms and empiresAnd prophets of oldOf heroes and martyrsWho died for their causeAnd through every chapterThe story was toldOf redemption and loveSometimes written in redHeaded right to the heartOf every woman and manCHORUSAnd down through the agesAgain and againIt's the greatest story ever toldStraight from the pagesFrom beginning to endIt's the greatest story ever toldWise could never begin to explainThe measure of graceThis wonderous book holdsIt's more than a fableOr and old fairy taleIt's the greatest, greatest story ever toldFor thousands of yearsThis pearl of great wisdomHas weathered through changesAnd lasted through warsMany a doubterHas risen and fallenBuilt the story had never onceAbandoned it's courseFor the author still speaksTo the listening oneThrough the voices of menAnd through the pagesThe pages of loveREPEAT CHORUSThis world that we live in could never containThe wealth of compassionThis wondrous book holdsIt's more than a fable or an old fairy taleIt's the greatest, greatest story ever told
