The greatest story ever told

Was prophesied in days of old

This revelation came to pass

Two thousand years ago

About a boy of humble birth

Was sent from God to save the Earth

From all the darkness and the sins

This world will ever know

While shepherds watched their flocks by night

Their eyes beheld an awesome sight

A star so bright with guiding light

From far away they came

To Bethlehem that Christmas morn

Where Heaven's promised child was born

To save us from this world and more

We praise His holy name

He grew into a fine young man

Well versed in Heavenly Father's plan

He taught the people in the land

The way their lives s hold be

He healed the sick and raised the dead

He washed their feet and broke the bread

With open arms He humbly said

To all come follow Me

With in the grove of olive trees

He prayed to God so fervently

In deep despair and agony

He bled from every pore

Betrayed by one for selfish greed

Denied by one who still believed

With guile and indignity

They crowned his head with thorns

They pierced His hands, His side and feet

His love for them would not retreat

His loving sacrifice complete

He opened Heaven's door

Upon the cross of Calvary

He gave his life unselfishly

He stands for all the world to see

That death will sting no more

The greatest story ever told

Was prophesied in days of old

This revelation came to pass

Two thousand years ago
