"The Greatest Story Ever Told"
(Verse 1)
Before the world took its first breath
Before the stars learned how to shine
There was a promise written in the dust
Hope waiting on the line
From a garden to a grave of stone
From the fall to mercy’s call
Every page was pointing forward
To the moment that would change us all.
(Pre-Chorus)
Kings and prophets tried to tell it
Through fire, tears, and blood
Every shadow found its meaning
In the pouring out of love.
(Chorus)
This is the greatest story ever told
Heaven came down to save my soul
From a borrowed manger to a rugged cross
Love was written in the cost
Death was beaten, the stone was rolled
Grace rewrote what the world thought cold
From the grave to glory, loud and bold
This is the greatest story ever told.
(Verse 2)
A crown of thorns, a sinner’s place
Nails that held what hate could not
The weight of every broken heart
Was carried to that hilltop
The sky went dark, the veil was torn
Hope looked lost, the world stood still
But the grave couldn’t keep Him
And it never will.
(Pre-Chorus)
Every lie was finally silenced
Every fear was overthrown
Love stood up and walked out free
From a borrowed tomb of stone.
(Chorus)
This is the greatest story ever told
Heaven came down to save my soul
From a borrowed manger to a rugged cross
Love was written in the cost
Death was beaten, the stone was rolled
Grace rewrote what the world thought cold
From the grave to glory, loud and bold
This is the greatest story ever told
Bridge (half-time → build)
Not a myth
Not a tale
Not a dream we tell ourselves
This is truth
This is life
Written in eternal light
The Lamb who fell
Now reigns on high
The grave lost hold
The King’s alive.
(Final Chorus (anthem mode)
This is the greatest story ever told
Mercy came and took control
From the cross to an empty grave
Love stood up and called my name
Chains were broken, hearts made whole
Hope awakened in my bones
I’ll shout it out till the whole world knows
This is the greatest story ever told.
(Outro)
If you’ve got breath
You’ve got a part
Grace is still rewriting hearts
This is the story
Still unfolding
The greatest story ever told
