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 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 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
