LYRICS
We told a little story about your love
With children's books about ol' Noah's ark and the flood
We told a little story
About the world that you created in only seven days
We took it literally
We told a little story
We sang our little songs
Belittled all your glory
Saying that our tribe's the only one
We told a little story
A little story about your grace
We neglected to include the entire human race
We told a little story
About your plan to save the chosen ones
And sort the sheep out from the goats and right from wrong
We wove a little fable
We told a little lie
We taught our little children
That their little sins condemned them all to die
But little did we know
Little did we care
Little did we grow
Littler every year
But I sense a bigger story
A bigger story than before
Every daughter, every son, every human one of yours
I see the bigger glory
A humbler, gentler, kinder love
That's willing to stand with the hurt and broken, every one of us
So I tell a bigger story
I sing a bigger song
You see that God’s not bigoted
Not concerned in right or wrong
And yes this love is bigger than
Deeper, wider, higher than
So big that all the universe belongs
So big that all the universe belongS

“Can’t stop listening to ‘A Little Story’ - “told our little children that their little sins condemned them all to die” has me in tears every time ... Your songs are like a gentle arm around my shoulders reaffirming that my exodus from the group was indeed a wise decision. Thank you”
Here's the story behind the tenth song on the album "A Little Story".
