Gospel Story ...
ONCE! ... From the Greatest Heights of Glory
ONCE! ... There is Eden's Precious Garden
ONCE! ... Jesus Fought those Proud Dominions
That Heavenly Chorus, Evangel Orchestra
Kids and I... sometimes.
Story behind the song
Once! upon a time ... once in a life-time ... etc., ... Finally, once came a Savior!
Lyrics
Once from the greatest heights of glory,
God spake the everlasting story.
It was the Christ, the Savior of all men
Paying the price -- becoming all our sin ...
Look at Christ -- the precious love God's given
Taking us to mansions pure in Heaven ...
Soon He'll return to take us Home with Him;
Then in the earth, His glory shall begin.
Once Jesus fought those proud dominions,
Casting them down across the heavens.
When in God's might, He felled the universe,
Then with His Light He brought it back in birth.
Look at all the waste and void of Satan
Covering with darkness all of heaven.
Then look on High -- the bright and morning Star;
Jesus the Christ doth rapture us afar.
Once there in Eden's precious garden,
Man sinned without deserving pardon.
God's flaming sword, then Christ the Lord decreed.
'Spake bloody war on Satan and God's Seed.
Look at all the world's travailing thunder;
Tempest-tossed her islands pierced asunder ...
'Waiting on Christ to see God's Sons on High,
Great Paradise, the Lamb and all His Light.
