(Intro Music)
[VERSE 1]
I was takin a trip on a plane the other [Am]day
Just w[G]ishing that I could get out.
When the m[F]an next to me saw the book in my hand
And as[E]ked me what it was about.
So I settled b[Am]ack in my seat-
"A best seller," I said. "A h[G]istory, a mystery in one."
And then I o[F]pened up the book and began to read
From M[E]atthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
[CHORUS 1]
He was b[Am]orn of a virgin one holy night
In the l[F]ittle town of Bethlehem.
A[Dm]ngels gathered round him underneath the stars
Singing p[E]raises to the great I Am.
He w[Am]alked on the water, healed the lame and made the b[F]lind to see again.
And for the f[Dm]irst time here on earth we learned that G[E]od could be a friend.
And though he n[F]ever ever[E] d[F]id a single thing wrong
The a[Am]ngry crowd chose him.
And then he w[Dm]alked down the road and died on the cross
and t[E]hat was the end of the b[Am]eginning.
[VERSE 2]
"that's n[Am]ot a new book that's a bible," he said, "and I've h[G]eard it all before.
I've tried r[F]eligion- it's shame and guilt and I don't n[E]eed it anymore.
It's s[Am]uperstition, made up tales and just to h[G]elp the weak to survive. "
"Let me r[F]ead it again," I said, "listen closely, cuz t[E]his is gonna change your life.

[VERSE 3]
"The end of the b[Am]eginning," he said with a smile.
"What m[G]ore could there be? He's dead.
You said they h[F]ung him, put nails in His hands
And a c[E]rown of thorns on His head. "
I said, "I'll r[Am]ead it again but this time there's more,
And [G]I believe that this is true.
His death w[F]asn't the end, the beginning of life
That's c[E]ompleted in you. Don't you see he did all this for you! "
[CHORUS 2]

He w[Am]alked on the water, healed the lame,
And made the b[F]lind to see(eee)
(and for the f[Dm]irst time here on earth)
Did you know that G[E]od could be a friend.
Tho He n[F]ever ever [E]di[F]d a single thing wrong,
He [Am]was the one the crowd chose.
Then [Dm]he walked and he died but
T[E]hree days later (3x) he rose!!!!!!!!
[Am]Three days later he rose!
You see he c[F]ame, he l[Am]ived, and [Dm]he died.
But t[E]hat was the end.. of the b[Am]eginning.
