When The Old Old Story Was New

The Kingsmen

If I had been there to see it all happen On the hill just outside Bethlehem I would gaze at the stars where the angels sang "Glory" Find the place, there was no room for him If I had been there, that day at the Jordan When John looked up and called him "The Lamb" I would trace every step that took him to Calvary Watch the nails pierce his feet and his hands But I'm here in this moment 200 years later I know in my heart its all true So I'll tell it today like I would have back then When the old, old story was new If I had been there to hear "He Is Risen" I'd run to that cold, empty tomb I would stand on the mount where Jesus ascended And rejoice that he's coming back soon But I'm here in this moment 200 years later I know in my heart its all true So I'll tell it today like I would have back then When the old, old story was new He's still the truth the life and the way And the gospel still has the power to save But I'm here in this moment 200 years later I know in my heart its all true So I'll tell it today like I would have back then When the old, old story was new
