I was taking a trip on a plane the other day
Wishing 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 bestseller I said
A history, a mystery 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 sky
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 learned that God could be a friend
And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose him
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 of tales
Just to help the weak survive
Well 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 sky
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 learned that God could be a friend
And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
The angry crowd chose him
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 with 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
I believe that this is true
His death wasn't the end
But the beginning of life
That's completed in you
He did all this for you
He was born of a virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
All the angels gathered round him underneath the stars
Singing praises to the great I Am
He walked on the water, healed the lame
And made the blind to see again
For the first time here on earth
We learned 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
He rose
Three days later
He rose
Death could not keep him
He rose
He rose
Days later
Three days later
Three days later
He rose
Three days later
He rose
