David Phelps<\/p>\n
(0:46) I was takin a trip on a plane the other day
\njust wishing that I could get out.
\nWhen the man next to me saw the book in my hand
\nand asked me what it was about.
\nSo I settled back in my seat-
\n“A best seller,” I said.
\n“A history, a mystery in one.”
\nAnd then I opened up the book and began to read
\nfrom Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.<\/p>\n
(1:11) He was born of a virgin one holy night
\nin the little town of Bethlehem.
\nAngels gathered round him underneath the stars
\nsinging praises to the great I Am.
\nHe walked on the water, healed the lame and made the blind to see again.
\nAnd for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.
\nAnd though he never ever did a single thing wrong
\nthe angry crowd chose him. And then he walked down the road
\nand died on the cross and that was the end of the beginning.<\/p>\n
(1:58) “That\u2019s not a new book thats a bible,” he said, “and I’ve heard it all before.
\nI’ve tried religion- its shame and guilt and I don\u2019t need it anymore.
\nIt’s superstition, made up tales and just to help the weak to survive.”
\n“Let me read it again,” I said, “listen closely, cuz this is gonna change your life.<\/p>\n
(2:20) He was born of a virgin one holy night
\nin the little town of Bethlehem.
\nAngels gathered round him underneath the stars
\nsinging praises to the great I Am.
\nHe walked on the water, healed the lame and made the blind to see again.
\nAnd for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.
\nAnd though he never ever did a single thing wrong
\nthe angry crowd chose him. And then he walked down the road
\nand died on the cross and that was the end of the beginning.<\/p>\n
(3:12) “The end of the beginning,” he said with a smile.
\n“What more could there be? He’s dead.
\nYou said they hung him, put nails in His hands
\nand a crown of thorns on His head.”
\nI said, “I’ll read it again but this time there’s more,
\nand I believe that this is true.
\nHis death wasn’t the end, the beginning of life
\nthat’s completed in you.
\nDon’t you see he did all this for you!”<\/p>\n
(3:45) He was born of a virgin one holy night
\nin the little town of Bethlehem
\nAll the angles singing praises to the great I AM
\nHe walked on the water, healed the lame,
\nand made the blind to see(eee)
\n(and for the first time here on earth)
\nDid you know that God could be a friend.
\nTho He never ever did a single thing wrong,
\nHe was the one the crowd chose.
\nthen he walked and he died but
\nthree days later (3x) HE ROSE!!!!!!!!
\nThree days later he rose!<\/p>\n
(4:53) You see he came, he lived, and he died.
\nBut that was the end of the beginning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
