Tell me the story of Jesus
write on my heart every word
tell me the story most precious
the sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how angels and sang as they welcomed his birth
glory to God in the highest
peace and good tidings on earth.
Tell of the cross where they nailed him
writhing in anguish and pain
tell of the grave where they laid him
and tell how he liveth again.
Oh love in this story so tender
clearer than ever I see
stay let me weep while you whisper
love paid the ransom for me
love paid the ransom for me
