(Intro Music)
[Verse 1]
I was takin a trip on a plane the other Amday
Just wGishing that I could get out.
When the mFan next to me saw the book in my hand
And asEked me what it was about.
So I settled bAmack in my seat-
"A best seller," I said. "A hGistory, a mystery in one."
And then I oFpened up the book and began to read
From MEatthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
[Chorus 1]
He was bAmorn of a virgin one holy night
In the lFittle town of Bethlehem.
ADmngels gathered round him underneath the stars
Singing pEraises to the great I Am.
He wAmalked on the water, healed the lame and made the bFlind to see again.
And for the fDmirst time here on earth we learned that GEod could be a friend.
And though he nFever ever EdFid a single thing wrong
The aAmngry crowd chose him. 
And then he wDmalked down the road and died on the cross
and tEhat was the end of the bAmeginning.
[Verse 2]
"that's nAmot a new book that's a bible," he said, "and I've hGeard it all before.
I've tried rFeligion- it's shame and guilt and I don't nEeed it anymore.
It's sAmuperstition, made up tales and just to hGelp the weak to survive. "
"Let me rFead it again," I said, "listen closely, cuz tEhis is gonna change your life.
[Chorus 1]
He was bAmorn of a virgin one holy night
In the lFittle town of Bethlehem.
ADmngels gathered round him underneath the stars
Singing pEraises to the great I Am.
He wAmalked on the water, healed the lame and made the bFlind to see again.
And for the fDmirst time here on earth we learned that GEod could be a friend.
And though he nFever eveEr Fdid a single thing wrong
The aAmngry crowd chose him. 
And then he wDmalked down the road and died on the cross
and tEhat was the end of the bAmeginning.
[Verse 3]
"The end of the bAmeginning," he said with a smile.
"What mGore could there be? He's dead.
You said they hFung him, put nails in His hands
And a cErown of thorns on His head. "
I said, "I'll rAmead it again but this time there's more,
And GI believe that this is true.
His death wFasn't the end, the beginning of life
That's cEompleted in you. Don't you see he did all this for you! "
[Chorus 2]
He was bAmorn of a virgin one holy night
In the lFittle town of Bethlehem
All the aDmngles singing pEraises to the great I am
He wAmalked on the water, healed the lame,
And made the bFlind to see(eee)

(Intro Music)

[Verse 1]

I was takin a trip on a plane the other day

Just wishing 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.

[Chorus 1]

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.

Am F

He walked on the water, healed the lame and made the blind to see again.

Dm E

And for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.

F E F

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

E Am

and that was the end of the beginning.

[Verse 2]

Am G

"that's not a new book that's a bible," he said, "and I've heard it all before.

F E

I've tried religion- it's shame and guilt and I don't need it anymore.

Am G

It's superstition, made up tales and just to help the weak to survive. "

F E

"Let me read it again," I said, "listen closely, cuz this is gonna change your life.

[Chorus 1]

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.

Am F

He walked on the water, healed the lame and made the blind to see again.

Dm E

And for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.

F E F

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

E Am

and that was the end of the beginning.

[Verse 3]

"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! "

[Chorus 2]

He was born of a virgin one holy night

In the little town of Bethlehem

Dm E

All the angles singing praises to the great I am

He walked on the water, healed the lame,

And made the blind to see(eee)

(and for the first time here on earth)

Did you know that God could be a friend.

F E F

Tho He never ever did a single thing wrong,

He was the one the crowd chose.

Then he walked and he died but

Three days later (3x) he rose!!!!!!!!

Three days later he rose!

F Am Dm

You see he came, he lived, and he died.

E Am

But that was the end.. of the beginning.
