Shai Linne- Greatest Story Ever Told LYRICS

Shai Linne- Greatest Story Ever Told ft Flame from his new cd Storiez from Lamp Mode and Syntax

Verse 1

Alright check it: lets go back in time, brethren
Divine lessons always keep your mind guessing
The glory of the Triune Gods what Im stressing
The origin of humankind was fine- blessings
Were plenteous- God is amazingly generous
Crazy benefits in a state of innocence
God told the man what he could taste was limited
Not long after came our nemesis in Genesis
He scammed well, man fell, damned to hell
The whole human race- he represented it
Fooled by the serpent, man through his work
Woman through birth- even the earth ruled by the curses
But instead of a wake immediately
God said her Seed would be the One to crush the head of the snake
Yo, wait whats this? Whoa, a gracious gift!
In Jehovahs faithfulness He clothed their nakedness
This was so they would know their Saviors kiss
And bliss- but first, many growing pains exist
Suffering in the worst form, ugly deeds
Eves firstborn seed made his brother bleed
Indeed things got progressively worse
Every section of the earth's been affected by the curse
And though Gods judgments against sin were gory
Praise the Lord! Its not the end of the story

Chorus:
It's the greatest story ever told
A God pursues foes whose hearts turned cold
The greatest story ever told
Restoring all that the enemy stole
The greatest story ever told
The glory of Christ is the goal, behold
The greatest story ever told
It's the greatest...

Verse 2

Next scene: mans sin was extreme
God gets steamed, man gets creamed
The Lord is so Holy that He drowned them in the water
Fire in the valley of slaughter- Sodom and Gomorrah
But at the same time, Hes so gracious and patient
That from one man He created a whole nation
Eventually enslaved by the mentally depraved
They cried out to the only One with the strength that He could save
He brought them out with signs and wonders- satisfied their hunger
Then He appeared on Mount Sinai in thunder
Where He laid down the law for God-ruled government
Commonly referred to as the Mosaic covenant
Sins imputed- so for man to know hes unrighteous
God instituted animal sacrifices
This was to show our constant need for atonement
And when it came to sin, the Lord would never condone it
And when His people disobeyed and went astray
He raised up prophets and kings to lead them in the way
But they would get foul with their idolatry- wet and wild
Prophecy- send them into exile
To take their punishment like a grown man
Then with His own hand He placed them back in their homeland
And while in their forefathers land they dwelt
They awaited the arrival of Emmanuel

Chorus:
It's the greatest story ever told
A God pursues foes whose hearts turned cold
The greatest story ever told
Restoring all that the enemy stole
The greatest story ever told
The glory of Christ is the goal, behold
The greatest story ever told
It's the greatest...

Verse 3

After 400 silent years filled with sighs and tears
In Bethlehem the Messiah appears
God in the flesh- Second Person of the Trinity
At thirty begins His earthly ministry
Baffling cats with accurate, exact facts
And back to back miraculous acts
A stumbling block to the self righteous
But the humbled- His flock, said Theres no one else like this
He came from heaven to awake the numb
Demonstrated His power over nature, son
A foretaste of the Kingdom and the age to come
But the reason He came was to pay the sum
For the depths of our wickedness, our wretched sinfulness
Bless His magnificence- Hes perfect and innocent
Yet He was wrecked and His death- He predicted it
Next He was stretched, paid a debt that was infinite
He said that He finished it- resurrected so the elect
would be the recipients of its benefits
Through faith and penitence we get to be intimate
His grace is heaven sent, it never diminishes
Now the Holy Spirit indwelling is the evidence
for heaven's future residents who truly represent
Jesus, the Author, Producer, Director and
Star of a story that will never, ever end!

Chorus:
The greatest story ever told
A God pursues foes whose hearts turned cold
The greatest story ever told
Restoring all that the enemy stole
The greatest story ever told
The glory of Christ is the goal, behold
The greatest story ever told
It's the greatest...

For real, I know no one is greater than another but Shai is what hip hop is supposed to be about. Hip hop = stories, great stories. Life, learning, growing. Amazing that it's what can be related to God.

@DelsforGod71

Yeah, I never used to like rap; especially since I used to be a racist. The Lord saved me last year and has given me a love for ALL races. He has given me new desires and a big one is to see souls saved and brought into The Kingdom. I Love the lyrics to Shai Linne's music, and I'm getting used to the rap. :)

@folabad

@ColonPal Hi - I'm Joey nice to meet you. There are delusions on both side of the fence. I'm afraid you have fallen to one of them.

Get to know some real Christians, see there heart for the poor, broken and lame. Find out were it comes from. I think you'll break your delusion if you do that.

There are bad representations for all beliefs. Get to know the good ones as well, then make your opinion.

[wolfie169]

@ColonPal i have nothing against sanity, in fact i'm priveliged to have it. you throw words around like clarity and truth around like yu know the answers which science is currently lacking so much so that now scientists are even pondering as to the fact there may have been a "supreme conciousness" as they called it that started of the world through the big bang or not whereas truth and clarity have been mentioned through out the Gospel, don't dismiss what you don't understand.

[folabad]

the third verse of this song is probably the best verse iv ever heard in any song. it is so good & well written, i keep repeating that verse over & over.

[ColonPal]

@wolfie169 -- LOL! And I'm not sure what YOU have against SANITY, but your God delusion couldn't be any more ridiculous. Those of us who seek clarity and Truth are pretty disgusted with Biblical 'morality'. The planet could use a whole lot MORE kindness and mercy and a whole lot LESS genocidal religious stupidity, which is all that Christianity and Islam represent.

So, perhaps it's YOU who's seeking the truth, you can start finding it by flushing your bible down the toilet where it belongs!

[wolfie169]

@nyashamidzi Well said

[wolfie169]

@ColonPal mate, i'm not sure what you have against God, but it's clear that your desperatly calling out for him, even if you don't see it yourself.

Go to a church that you feel you can fit in with, and get prayed for, then see if you feel any different.

or keep looking through youtube videos, which you are obviously doing to try and disrupt and condemn this so-called "preposterous" practice of building ones faith, and actually listen to whats being said

[SinCityMadman]

WOW...jus....WOW!

[ColonPal]

@ceeker248 -- Believers are ALWAYS the most arrogant because they can't prove their PREPOSTEROUS beliefs. If you knew how to think rationally and logically, you'd know that there is no 'God'. Christians often forget that the Bible, God and Jesus are are purely 100% MAN-MADE inventions. It was man who created GOD, not the other way around.

Live & learn!

[ceeker248]

@ColonPal who's being arrogant? We must not be watching the same debates, oh well.
