I

Was taking a trip on a plane the other day just a 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 history and mystery in one

Then I opened up 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 stars singing praises to the great. I am he walked on the water

He'll blame 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 and then he walked down the road and died

On the cross and that was the end

of the beginning

Oh

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 and I don't need it anymore

It's superstition a man outtails and just to help the weak to survive

Well, let me read it again. I said listen closely. This is gonna change your life

He was born of a virgin one the holy night in the little town of Bethlehem

Angels gathered round him underneath the stars singing praises to the great

He walked on the water. He'll blame 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 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 and 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 but the beginning of life that's completed in you

Don't you see he did all this for you?

He

Was born of a virgin one the holy night in the little town of Bethlehem

He walked on the water he'll blame and made the blind to see

And did you know that God could be a friend and though he never did a single thing wrong

He was the one the crowd chose and then he walked and he died

but three days later

Three days later

Oh

You see he came and he lived and he died

But that was the end

Of the beginning

You
