The Greatest Story!

V1
Long, long ago in Nazareth
As the Bible tells us so,
God sent a gift,
His only son,
For Mankind on Earth below.
No one in the town had any clue
Of the story that we’ll tell to you.

Chorus
The greatest story,
The greatest story ever told,
Give God the glory,
As now we let our tale unfold
For you,
It’s time to tell
The greatest story ever told!

V2
Long, long ago in Nazareth
Were two people living there,
Carpenter Joseph
Soon to wed
His beloved Mary fair.
Neither one of them had any clue
Of the story that we’ll tell to you.

Chorus

It’s time to tell
The greatest story ever told!
