more than a story

lyrics

More Than a Story

More than a story, more than a play
Much more than history, began on that day
More than a legend, more than a tale
I am among you, alive here to today
Alive here today, alive here today

I hear your thoughts, I know your fears
Listening always to your voice
Walk near you everywhere, waiting for you
I call to you, each day at dawn
Painting my love through the skies
Walk near you everywhere, so near to you
Walk near you everywhere, so near to you
Walk near you everywhere

(I’m here), more than a story, (I’m here) more than a play (I’m here)
Much more than history, (I’m here)  began on that day (I’m here)
More than a legend, (I’m here) more than a tale (I’m here)
I am among you, (I’m here) alive here to today (I’m here, I’m here, I’m here)

hear your thoughts, I know your fears
Listening always to your voice
Walk near you everywhere, waiting for you
I call to you, each day at dawn
Painting my love through the skies
Walk near you everywhere, so near to you
Walk near you everywhere, so near to you
Walk near you everywhere

In the beginning was the One who is called the Word
The Word was with God, and was truly God
From the very beginning the Word was with God
And with this Word God created all things
Nothing was made without the Word
Everything that was created received its life from Him
And His life gave light to everyone
(John 1:1-4 from the Contemporary English Version)

Walk near you everywhere, so near to you
Walk near you everywhere, so near to you
Walk near you everywhere

The light keeps shining in the dark
And the darkness has never put it out
(John 1:5 from the Contemporary English Version)

I am the light of the world
However follows me will never walk in darkness,
But will have the light of life
(John 8:12 from the New International Version)

The Word became a human being and lived here with us
We saw His true glory, the glory of the only Son of the Father
From Him, all the kindness and all the truth of God have come down to us
(John 1:14 from the Contemporary English Version)

Don’t rush away and meet Me here next year
Come turn the page,  don’t leave My story here
I’m so much more, I long to meet with you
I’m everywhere, it breaks My heart
Waiting for you
