Lyrics for “The Beginning of the Gospel” by Michael Card

The beginning, the beginning of the gospel 
Of Jesus Christ, the Son of God 
The beginning of the Good News
Of Christ, the Son of God 

It was the question 
Of all questions 
A demand to seek the price 
And the answer 
Of all answers 
You are the Christ 

The beginning of the gospel 
Of Jesus Christ, the Son of God 
The beginning of the Good News 
Of Christ, the Son of God 

Standing in the 
Cross’s shadow 
Of the death-drenched deed 
He’d done 
The response to the wordless question 
This is God’s own Son 

The beginning (Jesus) of the gospel (Jesus) 
The beginning (Jesus) of the Good News (Jesus) 
The beginning (Jesus) of the gospel (Jesus) 
The beginning (Jesus) of the Good News (News) 
Of Christ, the Son of God 
Of Christ, the Son of God
