Tell Me the Story of Jesus (Crosby)

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus

Write on my heart ev­ery word.

Tell me the sto­ry most pre­cious

Sweetest that ev­er was heard.

Tell how the an­gels in chor­us

Sang as they wel­comed His birth.

Glory to God in the high­est!

Peace and good tid­ings to earth.

Tell me the sto­ry of Je­sus

Write on my heart ev­ery word.

Tell me the story most pre­cious

Sweetest that ev­er was heard.

Fasting alone in the des­ert

Tell of the days that are past.

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.

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.
