END OF THE BEGINNING
I was taking a trip on a plane the other day just a wishing 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 the book and began to read from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
He was born of a virgin one holy night in the little town of Bethlehem. Angels gathered round him underneath the stars singing praise 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 that God can be a friend, And though He never ever did a single thing wrong the angry crowd chose Him, And then He walked down the road and died on the cross and that was the end of the beginning.
Thats not a new book, thats a bible, he said, and Ive heard it all before. I've tried religion its shame and guilt and I dont need it anymore. Its superstition, made up tales and just to help the weak to survive. Let me read it again, I said, but listen closely, this is gonna change your life!
The end of the beginning, he said with a smile, What more could there be? Hes dead. You said they hung Him, and put nails in His hands and a crown of thorns on His head. I said, Ill read it again but this time theres more, and I believe that this is true. His death wasnt the end, but the beginning of life, thats completed in you He did all this for you!
He was born of a virgin one holy night in the little town of Bethlehem. Angels gathered round him underneath the stars singing praise 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 that God can be a friend, And though He never ever did a single thing wrong the angry crowd chose Him, And then He walked, and He died, BUT Three days later [Echo Three days later], Three days later,
