Hi! I'd suppose this is my first post here, so.. greetings. :o I'll just start off by saying that I'm not a religious person myself, but I adore Christian music! I hope that doesn't come across as shallow, so my apologies if I offended anyone.
Onto the song itself.. actually, it's kind of a funny story. My bus driver listens to a Christian contemporary station - believe it's KTIS Minnesota, or some such - and I recently heard this one song that I found very catchy and all around awesome. Unfortunately, they didn't announce the artist after it was done, or I didn't quite hear it, so here's what I can tell you:
The lyrics of the song are describing a conversation a man is having with another man on the airplane. The first man, the singer of the piece, was sitting in a seat and holding a black book - a Bible. The other man, who is not religious and cynical during the entire song, asks him what he's reading. I remember one line being 'a history and mystery all in one'.
I also remember the lyrics 'born a holy knight in the little town of Bethlehem'. The chorus is repeated each time the singer rereads the 'story' of it to him, since he's just being an all-around butthead and not listening. Y'know, he'd probably get in trouble for doing that to someone on an airplane, I thought to myself. :p
One last thing.. a line saying, 'and that was the end of the beginning'. Anyone know what song this is? Male singer, btw. -

Ahh. Is it David Phelps - End of the Beginning? :)
(Intro Music)
I was takin a trip on a plane the other day
just wishing that I could get out.
When the man next to me saw the book in my hand
and asked me what it was about.
So I settled back in my seat-
"A best seller," I said.
"A history, a mystery in one."
And then I opened up the book and began to read
from Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
Chorus:
He was born of a virgin one holy night
in the little town of Bethlehem.
Angels gathered round him underneath the stars
singing praises to the great I Am.
He walked on the water, healed the lame and made the blind to see again.
And for the first time here on earth we learned that God could be a friend.
And though he never ever did a single thing wrong
the angry crowd chose him. And then he walked down the road
and died on the cross and that was the end of the beginning.
"Thats not a new book thats a bible," he said, "and I've heard it all before.
I've tried religion- its shame and guilt and I dont need it anymore.
It's superstition, made up tales and just to help the weak to survive."
"Let me read it again," I said, "listen closely, cuz this is gonna change your life.
(Chorus)
"The end of the beginning," he said with a smile.
"What more could there be? He's dead.
You said they hung him, put nails in His hands
and a crown of thorns on His head."
I said, "I'll read it again but this time there's more,
and I believe that this is true.
His death wasn't the end, the beginning of life
that's completed in you.
Don't you see he did all this for you!"
(Chorus)
He was born of a virgin one holy night
in the little town of Bethlehem
All the angles singing praises to the great I AM
He walked on the water, healed the lame,
and made the blind to see(eee)
(and for the first time here on earth)
Did you know that God could be a friend.
Tho He never ever did a single thing wrong,
He was the one the crowd chose.
then he walked and he died but
three days later (3x) HE ROSE!!!!!!!!
Three days later he rose!
You see he came, he lived, and he died.
But that was the end of the beginning. -
