Tell Me The Story of Jesus

Tell me the story of Jesus

Of Christ-child in manger laid

Borne on glad lips through the ages

Lest it dies sadly away

Tell me the story of Jesus

How when he was but a lad

He sought His father’s business

Knowing the mission He had

Tell me the story of Jesus

Healing the sick, mute, deaf, blind

Tell me of throngs in his footsteps

Thirsting for Truth, good and kind

Tell me the story of Jesus

Suffering uttermost pain

As sword and thorny crown pierces

Tell me the story again

…how as a Lamb to the slaughter

Goodness and Mercy was led

How, as nails impaled His body

Still, for forgiveness He pled

Tell me of cross-hope, redemption

Tell me of Jesus, God’s Son

How at the words ‘it is finished’

Death and hell were overcome

Tell me how rocks could not hold Him

This Sacrifice for man’s sin

How from the throne of God’s Heaven

He sends His spirit within  

Tell me the story of Jesus

Lifeline of hope through the years

Until Death’s victor releases

Mortality from its tears
