End of the Beginning Lyrics

I was takin a trip on a plane the other day
just a 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 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
He was born of a virgin one holy night
in the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered round him underneath the stars
singin 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
thet God could be a friend.
And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
the angry crowds chose him.
And then he walked down the road and died on the cross
and that was the end of the beginning.
That's not a new book, that's a Bible he said
and I've heard it all before.
I've tried religion, its shame and guilt
and I don't need it any more.
It's superstition, made up tales,
and just to help the weak to survive.
Let me read it again, I said, Listen closely,
This is gonna change your life.

(chorus)
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,
I believe that this is true.
His death wasn't the end but the beginning of life
that's completed in you,
don't you see he did all this for you.

(chorus)

But three days later...HE ROSE!

You see, he came, he lived and he died. But that was the end of the beginning.
