The Greatest Story Ever Told
Behold the greatest story has been told
There’s a truth that has been told about the fall of man
Who were driven from their garden home
For breaking God’s command
When the serpent lied to Eve she became deceived
And when Adam fell under her spell God knew they had to leave
Their Eden paradise where they made a fatal choice
By believing what the devil said forsaking God’s advice
In the garden of the LORD on that unfaithful day
The serpent came to disclaim what Jesus had to say
There is fruit on every tree that I’ve prepared for thee
But the tree of good and evil is reserved for only Me
And if you disobey you will surely die
Then Eve became the first to fall because of Satan’s lie
Behold the greatest story has been told
Now the penalty for sin is still the same today
For those who break the law of God by failing to obey
Like Adam and like Eve who the devil did deceive
By saying they could be like God by eating from that tree
Behold the greatest story has been told
But God has made a way to redeem the world from sin
Through the sacrifice and blood of Christ we can live again
In a world we never knew when paradise was lost
Because of what God did for us upon the Savior’s cross
Behold the greatest story has been told
There’s a truth that has been told about the love of God
Who came to earth as Jesus Christ to wash us in His blood
So that we can be forgiven for the wrongs that we have done
For God so loved the world that He gave His only Son
To suffer and to die on the cross on Calvary
To make atonement for the sins of all humanity
The Lamb of God was offered as a willing sacrifice
So that we can live forever through the blood of Jesus Christ
Behold the greatest story has been told
There’s a truth that has been told that is still alive today
That nothing but the blood of Christ can wash our sins away
And there’s no other name by which we can be saved
For no one else but Jesus can redeem us from the grave
Behold the greatest story has been told
There’s a truth that has been told about the fall of man
Who were driven from their garden home
For breaking God’s command
But God has made a way to redeem us from our sin
And those who trust in Jesus will someday live again
Behold the greatest story has been told
The greatest story has been told
This is the greatest story ever told
