Well, I'm sure you've heard the story how a saviour came from glory
A baby that was heaven sent and virgin born
Without a reputation to be a king of a nation
But instead they placed upon his head a crown of thorns
Like a lamb led to the slaughter yet he opened not his mouth
The pain he suffered nobody knows
They nailed him to a cross and watched the blood come streaming down
It's not a pretty picture, but that's the way the story goes
But it'll be a different story (it'll be a different story)
When he returns from glory
We'll crown him king and then we'll sing and shout the victory
And it'll have a happy ending (it'll have a happy ending)
With the saints he'll be descending
And we'll all live happily ever after through eternity
Well, when Jesus left for heaven he told the eleven
Things would get rough and they would suffer for his name
Soon they were persecuted, some even executed
But still they faithfully endured the trials and pain
From the stoning of Stephen to this present evil day
Two thousand years of bitter tears and woe
The road the saints have traveled is a rough and rocky way
It's not a pretty picture, but that's the way the story goes
But it'll be a different story (it'll be a different story)
When he returns from glory
We'll crown him king and then we'll sing and shout the victory
And it'll have a happy ending (it'll have a happy ending)
With the saints he'll be descending
And we'll all live happily ever after through eternity
It'll be a different story (it'll be a different story)
When he returns from glory
We'll crown him king and then we'll sing and shout the victory
And it'll have a happy ending (it'll have a happy ending)
With the saints he'll be descending
And we'll all live happily ever after through eternity
