Lyrics
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about my Savior's face
Here comes my old friend, the preacher
He's knocking on my front door
He's out trying to save all the sinners
He's been here so many times before
I love the easy conversation
Man, that preacher sure can talk
It brings up my need for salvation
Even though he knows I'm stubborn to a fault
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
Lord, I need just a little more faith
I walked by the church Sunday morning
I slipped on in the back door
It's sure been a long time coming
And tell my preacher what I need to know
His words were like a cool drink of water
He said, "Sinners come on down the aisle"
So I went running for the alter
You should have seen my old friend, the preacher smile
Tell me one more time about Jesus
All about forgiveness and grace
Tell me one more time about Jesus
I long to see my Savior's face
Oh, I long to see my Savior's face

Meaning & Inspiration
“Tell Me One More Time About Jesus” tells a conversion story through an exchange between a persistent preacher and a resistant sinner. The repeated request for another account of Jesus reveals that familiarity with the message has not removed the need for grace. Forgiveness, salvation, and faith are presented as gifts that must be received rather than ideas merely discussed. The preacher returns without condemnation, and his steady witness prepares the way for a decisive response.
The movement from a front-door conversation to the back of a church and finally to the aisle gives the song a clear spiritual progression. An image of cool water conveys relief as the message reaches a conscience ready to respond. The emphasis on forgiveness accords with the promise that confessed sin is met by divine faithfulness, while the need for faith reflects salvation by grace rather than personal merit. By ending with a longing to see the Savior, the song shifts from reluctance to hope and portrays repentance as a grateful answer to the good news of Jesus.
