Lyrics
My life is based on a true story
The greatest story ever told
How God’s only son gave his life for me
Some two thousand years ago
No I wasn’t there to see
The shame of Calvary
He suffered there for me
Still he hears my heart confess
My unworthiness and my rewards
My life is based on a true story
The story of my wonderous Lord
No I wasn’t there to see
The shame of Calvary
He suffered there for me
Still he hears my heart confess
My unworthiness and my rewards
My life is based on a true story
