That's How the Story Goes

In the beginning You created
The heavens and the earth and everything was good
You created man according to Your perfect plan
And everyday we walked with You and life
Was Paradise

Then things became all complicated
Pride entered the picture and did what it could
Tried to make us think that we could make it on our own
And now we're feeling so alone 'cause we
Believed the lie

Since the fateful day
We turned our backs on You
You've been trying to win our hearts
So we come back to You

That's how the story goes
Sounds strange but it's true
The world's falling but Your love
Broke through
That's how the story goes

You loved this world so much You saved it
You came down to earth and in our place You stood
Showed us how to live and then You paid the sacrifice
Took our sins upon You and You died
To give us life

Then You conquered death
But that is not the end
We know in our hearts that someday
You'll come back again

In the final chapter
We all have a part to play
We must take the story out
Into the world today

It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on
It goes on and on and on and on
That's how the story goes
