Tell Me the Story of Jesus Lyrics

Tell me the story of Jesus

Write on my heart ev'ry word

Tell me the story most precious

Sweetest that ever was heard

Tell how the angels, in chorus

Sang as they welcomed His birth

Glory to God in the highest

Peace and good tidings to earth

Tell me the story of Jesus

Write on my heart ev'ry word

Tell me the story most precious

Sweetest that ever was heard

Fasting alone in the desert

Tell of the days that are past

How for our sins He was tempted

Yet was triumphant at last

Tell of the years of His labor

Tell of the sorrow He bore

He was despised and afflicted

Homeless, rejected, and poor

Tell me the story of Jesus

Write on my heart ev'ry word

Tell me the story most precious

Sweetest that ever was heard

Tell of the cross where they nailed Him

Writhing in anguish and pain

Tell of the grave where they laid Him

Tell how He liveth again

Love in that story so tender

Clearer than ever I see

Stay, let me weep while you whisper

Love paid the ransom for me

Tell me the story of Jesus

Write on my heart ev'ry word

Tell me the story most precious

Sweetest that ever was heard

Tell me the story of Jesus

Write on my heart ev'ry word

Tell me the story most precious

Sweetest that ever was heard

Sweetest that ever was heard
