Lyrics:

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
