Lyrics:
I was takin' a trip on a plane the other day
Just 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 up 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 praises 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 could 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.
"That's not a new book that's a bible," he said, "and I've heard it all before.
I've tried religion- its shame and guilt and I don't need it anymore.
It's superstition, made up tales and just to help the weak to survive."
"Let me read it again," I said, "listen closely, 'cause this is gonna change your life.
He was born of a virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered round him underneath the stars
Singing praises 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 could 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.
"The end of the beginning," he said with a smile.
"What more could there be? He's dead.
You said they hung him, put nails in His hands
And a crown of thorns on His head."
I said, "I'll read it again but this time there's more,
And I believe that this is true.
His death wasn't the end, the beginning of life
That's completed in you.
Don't you see he did all this for you!"
He was born of a virgin one holy night
In the little town of Bethlehem
All the angles singing praises to the great I am
He walked on the water, healed the lame,
And made the blind to see
(And for the first time here on earth)
Did you know that God could be a friend.
Tho He never ever did a single thing wrong,
He was the one the crowd chose.
Then he walked and he died but
Three days later
Three days later
Three days later
He rose!
Three days later he rose!
You see he came, he lived, and he died.
But that was the end of the beginning.

Anyone in 2024

[@fredgilbert7804]

The greatest Tenor singer in Christian music!!!

Hoping next time we are all together in heaven!! Praise the Lord

[@Karleekrish]

Siuuuuu

[@margiecarol2944]

ME, watching a video guy asking people "Do you believe in Jesus Christ? AND SADLY, AND MOSTLY RUDELY OVER AND OVER THEY SAID NO! WE DON'T MESS WITH THAT STUFF! THEY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT DANGER THEY ARE IN.😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@jennifershaw8951]

Someone just sent this and, WOW, David Phelps' dynamic singing of these lyrics "knocked my socks off"!!! Awesome song to share the gospel message....❤

[@carolyncoy2765]

Incredibly inspiring & powerful song. David Phelps is such a gifted vocalist & is truly glorifying our precious Savior with his magnificent voice. Never get tired of hearing this song & sharing as well to my unsaved friends.

[@Ken77114]

And...HE LIVES!!!!! I am 80 years old and will never forget a early morning, at age 5 1/2, as I tossed and turned, a soft light appeared and Jesus stood by my bed, smiled beautifully, and showed me His scars. I was the prodigal son for some 25 years, but my Lord, my Heavenly Father welcomed me back with open arms of love. He used me mightily since serving Him as a deacon, elder, and a light to others! He LIVES! And because He lives, so, too, shall we be with Him forever! John 14:6 ❤️👑

[@paean109]

I just love David singing this song. Brings chills down my spine.

[@bettygilliland456]

And tears of joy to my eyes

[@blessingisire3253]

Thank you Jesus for your mercy and grace.

[@paulbasarab9640]

Amazing how the message that the man in the story is preaching never changed. Really points to the sufficiency of Scripture. Faith is from hearing Gods word. God changes hearts. Upon rejection, he says no but listen…and repeats the same message! HE WAS BORN OF A VIRGIN…HE HEALED THE LAME…HE DID NOTHING WRONG AND DIED!!! Don’t you see He died so you can walk free! And He rose so you can rise too.

[@sundelong2727]

Yes . This song is gospel ❤

[@charleselders5856]

The most beautiful song and so moving. David Phelps is the best gospel singer I have ever heard

[@KrissiCreates]

I love this song and David's delivery of it. A great reminder for us all, not just at Easter !!!

[@Irishcloth]

If He never rose, He was just born like us all. His ressurection vindicates all His saved believers.

[@jesperjee]

A reminder of what?

[@MegaGermanShepherds]

Not just at Christmas too!

This song is such a blessing every time I listen to it. It's even more powerful when a God-given-gift of a singer like David sings it. He's the ONLY way, thank you Lord Jesus!

[@deborahlegris597]

Awesome representative of God's love for man. I have been blessed to hear David in person. His daughter Maggie has vocals like her dad. Thanks to Bill Gaither for promoting David's talent for everyone to enjoy.

Even in my time of religious doubt, this song forever remained my favorite song. So simple yet powerful sung by such a powerful voice.

[@noahboeckman6481]

I had a friend at school that was an atheist and through conversation he eventually gave his life to Christ. Coincidentally this was the first Christian song he ever heard. With him not knowing much worship music this was a repeated song on our trips to church and back.

[@heidiwelborn9353]

I first heard this when my sister introduced me to David Phelps and she chose this song to play for me and I played it for a week straight over and over singing at the top of my lungs. I agree I sent this song to my son who is with Christ as my brother And he was so moved by this song he sent it to our pastor at 11:30 at night and said our worship team needs to be singing this song! I love you, David Phelps you and your family and the music you sing and play is amazing and touches me in a way that no other artist has touched me … Thank you

[@bethneal6084]

This has been one of my favorites that David Phelps sings!

[@mikewise1612]

God can be a friend. (Everyone) should remember that. To the people unsure … I hope something in your life happens that goes beyond “coincidence “ in every fkn way imaginable .. to the point that there is no possible way to ignore it or dismiss it. Signs are there for a reason. Some of get lucky & are shown & just “know”, It’s what you do with it. Free will. To non believers , who look at me (& others like me) as weak.. it will be similar to the M&M’s commercial @ Christmas time when they meet Santa.. only far less humorous. When you realize , you have died, your life in front of you , your family, pets, & all The things you loved. -as God is showing you all of this. “Oh my God, you are real!” You’re gonna say! & God is gonna reply, yea .. but you lived your life, & I don’t know you. & He’s gonna walk away. That’s why I say, (to the unsure) , hope something will happen that will convince you otherwise. You don’t have to go to church or belong to some religious organization. You just have to believe . To non believers.. like, Free will, -so is Left Behind. Just a 45 yr old man’s view on this issue. Good song tho, man. Heard of it thru a random person walking & Fox News reporter asked him what he was listening to.

Brother Phelps: I must tell you that your voice is absolutely tremendous, but, even better, the lyrics to your songs (especially this one), has lifted me up, this morning and I've played it over and over. I thank God upon every remembrance of you and for the ability to go to a site to find your singing ministry such that God can move in my heart. FANTASTIC!!!!!!!

Hello. I enjoyed the content a lot. You should make music with George Myer. His tracks low-key is like Roddy Ricch and Bazzi. He is the sickest rapper from Australia and he straight up gets vibey all the time. You should most definitely check out his KZbin out and give him a subscribe! 👉 #GeorgeMyerOnNow

[@rubyvdwesthuizen6735]

Wow wow... Awesome... Glory ro God

[@SusanBorchard-t4f]

There are only a few who commented or even know this great song. Audioslave had over a billion views. The lead singer, Chris Cornell killed himself even though he was a multimillionaire. Sad, he didn't know the secret to happiness. Not drugs, not money or fame. But knowing God and how to praise him for everything...Jesus, nature, food and comfort. 😢
