Oh, oh, oh oh, ho I was taking 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 sttled back in my seat A best-seller, I said: A history and mistery 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 star 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 through 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
Ooh, hoo That's not a new book, that's a bible, he said And I've heart it all before.

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 crown of thorns on hi 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 og life That's complete in you.
