Tell Me the Story

Tell me the story of Jesus
 Write on my heart every word
 Tell me the story so precious
 Sweetest that I ever heard
 Tell me a story 'bout a baby born
 Leavin' all of Heaven for an Israel morn
 Tell of the angels that sang at His birth
 Glory to God and peace on the earth
 Tell me the story of Jesus
 Write on my heart every word
 Tell me the story so precious
 Sweetest that I ever heard, I ever heard
 Tell me a story of a desert fast
 Tempted by the devil but He triumphed at last
 Tell of His labor and the sorrow He bore
 Despised and afflicted, homeless, rejected and poor
 Tell me the story of Jesus
 Write on my heart every word
 Tell me the story so precious
 Sweetest that I ever heard, I ever heard
 Tell of the cross where they nailed Him
 Writhing in anguish and pain
 Tell of the grave where they laid Him
 And how He's living again
 Tell me the story of Jesus
 Write on my heart every word
 Tell me the story so precious
 Sweetest that I ever heard
 Tell me the story of Jesus
 Write on my heart every word
 Tell me the story so precious
 Sweetest that I ever heard, I ever heard
 Sweetest that I ever heard
