Tell Me the Story of Jesus


D                                           A                                      D 
Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word.
D                  G               D               A                                     D
Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.
G                                    D         A                                             D
Tell how the angels in chorus sang as they welcomed His birth,
G                                D             A
"Glory to God in the highest!  Peace and good tidings to earth."


D                                           A                                      D 
Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word.
D                  G               D               A                                     D
Tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.


D                                             A                                   D
Fasting alone in the desert, tell of the days tat are past,
D                  G                   D             A                                   D
How for our sins He was tempted, yet was triumphant at last.
G                                    D        A                                D
Tell of the years of His labor, tell of the sorrow He bore,
G                                        D         A
He was despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected and poor.


D                                                                  A                                     D
Tell of the cross where they nailed Him, writhing in anguish and pain.
D                G                          D             A                               D
Tell of the grave where they laid Him, tell how He liveth again.
G                                 D          A                            D
Love in that story so tender clearer than ever I see.
G                                              D             A
Stay, let me weep while you whisper, love paid the ransom for me.
