David Phelps - End Of The Beginning Lyrics

I was takin' a trip on a plane the other day
just wishin' 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, a mystery in one
and 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, 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 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 its shame and guilt and I don't need it anymore
It's superstition made up tales and just to help the weak to survive
Let me read it again I said 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 stars
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 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
that's completed in you
don't you see he did all this for you!

He was born of a virgin one holy night
in the little town of Bethlehem
all the angels singing praises to the great I Am
He walked on the water, healed the lame, and made the blind to see
and for the first time here on earth 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, three days later, HE ROSE!!!!!!!!
three days later HE ROSE!!!!!!!!

You see he came, he lived, and he died
but that was the end of the beginning
