Once Upon a Time


Once upon a time
When all the stars were singing 
Before the earth beheld its light
He who does declare  
The end from the beginning
Ordained a walk to Calvary's night


He saw a broken heart
And chords of every sinner
Fixed upon a lonely tree
And flowing to the ground
He saw a crimson river
Washing over you and me

For God so loved the world
He gave his only Son
To whosoever would believe
That they perish not
But have eternal life
To whosoever would believe
To whosoever would believe


Once upon a time
A heart so torn in sorrow
Led to die His only Son
O mended heart arise
Behold the joy that follows
The golden crowns of glory won
