se7en sandman - the greatest story ever told lyrics

[intro]
jesus christ? who was he? uh…
this will be the greatest story ever told (yo)
jesus christ!

[verse 1]
ancient days and wild ways
we praise idols wicked men wearing titles
kings and priests and high scholars
ain’t nothing changed everybody still wants dollars
it’s h-ll on earth
we living in a time where a child is denied his own birth
in greed we thirst and hunger for materials
idolize official figures of imperial stature
that’s when the whole world’s coming at ya
with seven demons ready to snatch ya
until god’s angels told joseph in a dream
the womb of his wife would bear life to a king
the prophets spoke about the gift he would give
the only hope for this miserable life we live
and we deserve every bit of it
cause we didn’t live with it the word of god as he had given it
to moses, we didn’t even think when we chose this
greed and l-st and everything that corroded
the nation, causing his self-sacrification
for the love of mankind and every nation
and every tongue, he was the one that created the sun
and delivered us from guns and drums
in heavy battle, even though we cursed his name
loving in fame putting this whole world to shame
but he maintained a strong heart
without a sin to any body part delivering us from all dark
places, when i think about it amazes me
how the lord just created me
for his very own purpose
even though i thought my life was worthless
i’m following the word ’til i’m earthless
so listen to the rhyme i wrote it’s a real one
sing praises say his name dunn…

[chorus] (x6)
jesus christ

[verse 2]
a woman unknown..
anointed christ with perfume
preparing his flesh for the tomb
for he knew the time was soon
when the church would bury the groom
now it’s time for the p-ssover
twelve disciples sat on the same table with jehovah
the body of christ was broke
the bible quotes the words that christ had spoke:
“this is my body i break it for you
this is my blood, your wine i take it for you”
“all the sins of the earth i will put upon my shoulders
no man could ever hold up”
“and so we dine for the last you see
one of you men amongst me will blasphemy”
“is there another way this could be done?”
“no peter, there’s only one way through the son”

[chorus] (x6)
jesus christ

[verse 1]
thirty silver coins, bought us a potter’s field
the price set on his by israel
it was a dark day for christ
to hear this crowd say: “crucify him!”
“let his blood be on us
and our next of kin, let the lynching begin”
the governor’s soldiers took him into possession
stripped him, looking at him undressing
as they crowned him with twisted thorns
and a scarlet robe to adorn
as they hail: “the king of the jews”
they mocked him hypocrites and pharisees
as the trees blow soft winds
the human sacrifice for sin was hoisted on crosses
in the midst of two thieves in the skull place
three days past and he rose again…

[chorus] (x6)
jesus christ

[outro]
surly he was the son of god
