Big Story
Steven Curtis Chapman · Now & Then [2006]
I hear the rumors of another world
Like distant voices in the wind
They say there is a story being told
Bigger than I can comprehend
And in the rumors I can hear an invitation calling
Chorus:
This is the, the big story
There is a God who's in control
Telling the, the big story
And He wants us to know
We will find ourselves when we loose ourselves
In the bigger story
Come and take your place in the story
Verse 2:
We all live in this place called the here and now
We see what's right before our eyes
But right here right now heaven's coming down
All around God's story is coming alive
And in this moment if we listen
We can hear Him calling
Chorus again
Captivating, fascinating, all consuming
Never concluding, One and only
Ever unfolding, Story of stories
The big, big story
