(15) The Greatest Story (Long Version)

The Greatest Story (Long Version) - Kathie Lee Gifford
Words and Music by Scott Brasher and Merrill Farnsworth, 1997

Lyrics:
Do you know how the world began?
How God created it by hand
From mighty mountains to the raging sea
To every leaf on every single tree
It’s in the Holy Book
Just open up and take a look

It’s a story for young and old
The greatest story ever told
A tale of truth and history
As told by God for you and me

It’s a story to behold
The greatest story ever told
So lend an ear and you will hear
The greatest story

Did you hear about Adam and Eve?
They lost paradise when they did not believe
And Moses escaped from Pharaoh’s hand
To lead his people into the Promised Land
It’s in the Holy Book
Just open up and take a look

(Repeat Chorus)

You will hear how the Ark was made
It carried the animals night and day
David knew that God was real
He slew the giant on the battlefield
And did you hear about Jesus’ birth
How God sent his son to redeem the earth

(Repeat Chorus)

The greatest, the greatest story
