Christmas song favorite #1: It's Still the Greatest Story Ever Told

Starting today, I am going to try to post one of my favorite Christmas songs on here daily. If I can't find a music video for a song, I will make one. No particular order - that would make it too difficult. This is one of my very favorites, It's Still the Greatest Story Ever Told, sung by the Gaither Vocal Band

Lyrics (third verse not recorded):

It’s Still the Greatest Story Ever Told (Lyrics)

Words by Gloria Gaither
Music by William J. Gaither and J. D. Miller

Verse 1:

A woman and an angel, a promise and a song;

A Word too grand for any mind to hold.
A tax law and a journey, a stable and some straw;
These tell the greatest story ever told.

Chorus:

Oh, sing glory in the highest!

He is come, our great Messiah.
Come, bow before this awesome mystery!
Mighty God and fragile Baby,
Here a lowly manger holds,
And it’s still the greatest story ever told.

Verse 2:

A hillside and some shepherds, a blaze of blinding light;

Angels singing carols in the cold!
Eternal revelation to men as dull as stone,
The glorious, greatest story ever told!

Verse 3
A band of honest seekers, a bright prophetic star;
Exotic spices and a bag of gold.
A visit from the Magi to a humble family
Help tell the greatest story ever told.

Chorus:

Oh, sing glory in the highest!

He is come, our great Messiah.
Come, bow before this awesome mystery!
Mighty God and fragile Baby,
Here a lowly manger holds,
And it’s still the greatest story ever told.
And it’s still the greatest story ever told.
