Tell Me the Story of Jesus Lyrics
Author: Fanny J Crosby
1 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.”
Refrain:
Tell me the story of Jesus,
write on my heart every word;
tell me the story most precious,
sweetest that ever was heard.
2 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. [Refrain]
3 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. [Refrain]
Tell Me the Story of Jesus Hymn Story
“Tell Me the Story of Jesus” is a hymn that was written by the famous American hymn writer Fanny Crosby.
This song expresses the love that Fanny had for Jesus despite the misfortune of losing his sight as a toddler.
Though most people would spend most of their life complaining and whining about their misfortune, Crosby was different as she grasped her misfortune and used it for his glory.
She is considered one of the most prolific hymn writers of all time.
We still sing most of her hymns and I bet that one hundred years from now people will be singing her songs.
This song is a longing that we should all have to hear the story of Jesus, the sweetest story ever heard.
We need to hear how the Son of God humbled himself and allowed himself to suffer hunger and persecution on this earth.
How he went to die on the cross of calvary for our sins.
