Lyrics
It happened all so long ago,
In a time I can't recall,
But its spirit spans the years and comes to me
A far greater thing than battles,
Or when mighty kingdoms fall
When a carpenter came out of Galilee.
He taught the people simply,
In a way to touch their souls.
He opened the eyes of men so they might see.
And the precious truths He taught them,
And the simple acts of love,
Have come down to touch the hearts of you and me.
It's the greatest gift the world has known,
For the Savior to come down and guide us home.
A single heartfelt plea,
As He said, "Come follow me."
He taught us all the way back home,
Then lived it perfectly.
They took the man, this carpenter,
And nailed Him to a tree,
And suffered pain no mortal man could bear
When He took upon Him all our sins
In the place Gethsemane.
I hope someday to understand the perfect love He shared.
It's the greatest gift we'll ever see;
His sacrifice that someday we may be
Together once again
With our wise Eternal friend
If we but meet our challenges,
Then strive on 'til the end.
It's the sweetest story ever told;
It means more to me than precious gems or gold.
Though the world may not believe,
It goes on eternally.
Those ancient truths have been restored
To set the people free
Now I've got my chance to show Him
The gratitude I feel,
And I'll go and spread the word to all I know.
With angels to uphold me,
And sacred truths revealed,
I'll share this testimony in my soul.
And the greatest gift that I can give
Is to show my brothers here the way to live.
With angels to uphold
And these sacred things I hold,
I'll share this tesimony from my soul.
I'll give to them the greatest gift I know.
