Listen children to a story
That was written long ago
'Bout a kingdom on a mountain
And the valley folk below

My love is like
A storybook story
But it's as real
As the feelings I feel

How a savior came from glory

Mordygan, that ballad has a goofy name:
"The Crafty Maid's Policy" ('down the long lane,' not Beverly Hillbillies)

Miche, yours triggered this one:

Tell me the old, old story
Of unseen things above
Of [something or other and] glory
Of Jesus and his love, of Jesus and his love.

Wow, we are on a religious kick here:

This is my story
This is my song
Praising my Savior
All the day long

HOLY COWabunga, Katie, that's a great one.

Blessed Assurance! It uses the word "foretaste." GREAT LYRICS. Great tune.
Okay, this isn't a hymn, but it does say "Bible."


It's the same old story
Everywhere I go
I get slandered, libelled,
I hear words I never heard in the Bible

And I can't prove it
But that's my story and I'm sticking to it

How can I try to explain?
When I do he turns away again
It's always been the same same old story
From the moment I could talk I was ordered to Listen
Now there's a way and I know that I have to go away

and spin me a story from your coattails so bare.

Here's the story,
Of a man named Brady,
Who was busy with three boys of his own.
They were four men,
Living all together, but they were all alone-.

I am just a poor boy though my story's seldom told
I have squandered my resistance for a pocketful of mumbles
Such are promises
