The Greatest Story Ever Told

THE GREATEST STORY EVER TOLD I heard a tender story of God’s dear, precious Son, Who left His throne in glory for sinners lost, undone To give His life a ransom that you from sin could be Set free from all its shackles and its awful penalty. It is a tragic story, for many watched that day And never knew His dying was to take our sins away. And yet throughout the ages, it’s tragic, yet it’s true That many scoff this message that He died for them, too. It is a traveling story, it’s traveled land and seas And spread His love and mercy and sweet abiding peace. And I am very thankful that it traveled one glad day Into my heart and saved me and took my sins away. Thank God, it’s a true story, more true than all we know, More full of love and mercy and grace He will bestow. If you will just accept Him, His finished work for you, You’ll find this tender story miraculous and true. Oh yes, it’s a great story, the greatest ever told, Though it’s been told for centuries, it never will grow old. There is no other story that can this one replace That’s greater than the story of God’s amazing grace!
