4. Tell Me the Story of Jesus

Verse 1:

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              E          A
"Glory to God in the highest! Peace and good tidings to earth."

Chorus:

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.


Verse 2:
Fasting, alone in the desert,
Tell of the days that He passed,
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.

Verse 3
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.
