Greatest Story Ever Told lyrics

Artist  : 4 Him 
Song : 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
