HeartSong - CD Lyrics
End Of The Beginning
I was taking a trip on a plane the other day
Wishing that I could get out
When the man next to me saw the book in my hand
And asked me what it was about
So I settled back in my seat
A best seller I said
A hist'ry and myst'ry in one
Then I opened the book
And began to read from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John
He was born of a virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
Angels gathered 'round Him underneath the star
Singing praises to the great I AM
He walked on the water
Healed the lame and made the blind to see again
And for the first time here on earth
We learn that God could be a friend
And though He never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose Him
And then He walked down the road
And died on the cross
And that was the end of the beginning
That's not a new book
That's a Bible, he said
And I've heard it all before
I've tried religion it's shame and guilt
I don't need it anymore
It's superstition, made up tales
Just to help the weak to survive
Let me read it again, I said
But listen closely
This is gonna change your life
He was born of a virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
Angels gathered 'round Him underneath the star
Singing praises to the great I AM
He walked on the water
Healed the lame and made the blind to see again
And for the first time here on earth
We learn that God could be a friend
And though He never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose Him
And then He walked down the road
And died on the cross
And that was the end of the beginning
The end of the beginning
He said with a smile
What more could there be
He's dead
You said they hung Him
Put nails in His hands
And a crown of thorns on His head
I said, I'll read it again
But this time there's more
And I believe that this is true
His death wasn't the end
The beginning of life
As completed in you
Don't you know He did all this for you
He was born of a virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
Angels gathered 'round Him underneath the star
Singing praises to the great I AM
He walked on the water
Healed the lame and made the blind to see again
And for the first time here on earth
We learn that God could be a friend
And though He never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose Him
And then He walked and He died
Three days later
Three days later
Three days later
He rose
