I heard the tale of a man
With love in his eyes and hope in his hands
I heard that He showed us the way
and lit up the dark
I heard that His kingdom had come
To mothers and daughters,
fathers and sons
And to all those who followed His voice
He changed every heart
It's not just on pages of history
It's not simply chiseled in stone
It's kept in the depth of the soul
And the story goes on
And it burns like a flame
Through the years and
the tears and the trials
The story goes on
And we carry his name
And it echoes across all the night
We enter this life
with a whiffer and cry
Sometimes we falter, sometimes we fly
But the ultimate truth we
can never deny
And forever the story goes on
The story goes on
For some he was more than their bread
They wouldn't deny in pain or in death
His name always stayed on their lips
And it's passed down to mine
So I'm following all those before me
An d even long after I'm gone
The message of Christ will be heard
And the story goes on
And it burns like a flame
Through the years and
the tears and the trials
The story goes on
And we carry his name
And it echoes across all the mountains
We enter this life
With a whimper and a cry
Sometimes we falter
Sometimes we fly
But there's an ultimate truth
And it never will die
And forever the story goes on
The story goes on
There's hope for the future
There's hope for the lost
There's always a sol
dier to carry the cross
Cause the story is true
And the story is a change in this world
And the stormy goes on,
and it burns like a flame
Through the years and
the tears and the trials
The stormy goes on, we carry his name
And it goes across all the lines
We enter this life
with a whimper and cry
Sometimes we falter, sometimes we fly
But there's an alternate tomorrow
and the devil will die
And forever the story goes on
The story goes on and on
And the story goes
on
Forever and ever
An d the story goes on,
forever an d ever
An d the story goes on,
forever
And story goes on
And the story goes on
