Greatest Story Ever Told Feat. Flame

Alright check it: let's go back in time, brethren
 Divine lessons always keep your mind guessing
 The glory of the Triune God's what I'm stressing
 The origin of humankind was fine- blessings
 Were plenteous- God is amazingly generous
 Crazy benefits in a state of innocence
 God told the man what he could taste was limited
 Not long after came our nemesis in Genesis
 He scammed well, man fell, damned to hell
 The whole human race- he represented it
 Fooled by the serpent, man through his work
 Woman through birth- even the earth ruled by the curses
 But instead of a wake immediately
 God said her Seed would be the One to crush the head of the snake
 Yo, wait what's this? Whoa, a gracious gift!
 In Jehovah's faithfulness He clothed their nakedness
 This was so they would know their Savior's kiss
 And bliss- but first, many growing pains exist
 Suffering in the worst form, ugly deeds
 Eve's firstborn seed made his brother bleed
 Indeed things got progressively worse
 Every section of the earth's been affected by the curse
 And though God's judgments against sin were gory
 Praise the Lord! It's not the end of the story
 It's the greatest story ever told
 A God pursues foes whose hearts turned cold
 The greatest story ever told
 Restoring all that the enemy stole
 The greatest story ever told
 The glory of Christ is the goal, behold
 The greatest story ever told
 It's the greatest...
 Next scene: man's sin was extreme
 God gets steamed, man gets creamed
 The Lord is so Holy that He drowned them in the water
 Fire in the valley of slaughter- Sodom and Gomorrah
 But at the same time, He's so gracious and patient
 That from one man He created a whole nation
 Eventually enslaved by the mentally depraved
 They cried out to the only One with the strength that He could save
 He brought them out with signs and wonders- satisfied their hunger
 Then He appeared on Mount Sinai in thunder
 Where He laid down the law for God-ruled government
 Commonly referred to as the Mosaic covenant
 Sin's imputed- so for man to know he's unrighteous
 God instituted animal sacrifices
 This was to show our constant need for atonement
 And when it came to sin, the Lord would never condone it
 And when His people disobeyed and went astray
 He raised up prophets and kings to lead them in the way
 But they would get foul with their idolatry- wet and wild
 Prophecy- send them into exile
 To take their punishment like a grown man
 Then with His own hand He placed them back in their homeland
 And while in their forefather's land they dwelt
 They awaited the arrival of Emmanuel
 It's the greatest story ever told
 A God pursues foes whose hearts turned cold
 The greatest story ever told
 Restoring all that the enemy stole
 The greatest story ever told
 The glory of Christ is the goal, behold
 The greatest story ever told
 It's the greatest...
 After 400 silent years filled with sighs and tears
 In Bethlehem the Messiah appears
 God in the flesh- Second Person of the Trinity
 At thirty begins His earthly ministry
 Baffling cats with accurate, exact facts
 And back to back miraculous acts
 A stumbling block to the self righteous
 But the humbled- His flock, said "There's no one else like this"
 He came from heaven to awake the numb
 Demonstrated His power over nature, son
 A foretaste of the Kingdom and the age to come
 But the reason He came was to pay the sum
 For the depths of our wickedness, our wretched sinfulness
 Bless His magnificence- He's perfect and innocent
 Yet He was wrecked and His death- He predicted it
 Next He was stretched, paid a debt that was infinite
 He said that He finished it- resurrected so the elect
 Would be the recipients of its benefits
 Through faith and penitence we get to be intimate
 His grace is heaven sent, it never diminishes
 Now the Holy Spirit indwelling is the evidence
 For heaven's future residents who truly represent
 Jesus, the Author, Producer, Director and
 Star of a story that will never, ever end!
 The greatest story ever told
 A God pursues foes whose hearts turned cold
 The greatest story ever told
 Restoring all that the enemy stole
 The greatest story ever told
 The glory of Christ is the goal, behold
 The greatest story ever told
 It's the greatest...
