[Intro: ]Music
Am
I was takin a trip on a plane the other day
G
Just wishing that I could get out.
F
When the man next to me saw the book in my hand
E
And asked me what it was about.
Am
So I settled back in my seat-
G
"A best seller," I said. "A history, a mystery in one."
F
And then I opened up the book and began to read
E
From Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Chorus:
Am
He was born of a virgin one holy night
F
In the little town of Bethlehem.
Dm
Angels gathered round him underneath the stars
E
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
And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
Am
The angry crowd chose him.
Dm
And then he walked down the road and died on the cross
E Am
and that was the end of the beginning.
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:
Am
"The end of the beginning," he said with a smile.
G
"What more could there be? He's dead.
F
You said they hung him, put nails in His hands
E
And a crown of thorns on His head. "
Am
I said, "I'll read it again but this time there's more,
G
And I believe that this is true.
F
His death wasn't the end, the beginning of life
E
That's completed in you. Don't you see he did all this for you! "
