About this Hymn
This children's hymn invites an older generation to tell the glorious deeds of the Lord (Ps. 78:4). The hymn teaches children the fundamental truths of our faith, found in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus. It reminds them that everyone who trusts in him will be a child of God. – Jordan Kauflin
Lyrics
Refrain 1
Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart ev'ry word; sing out his song of salvation, sing till his story is heard.
Verse 1
Tell how he was born to us and angels sang out their chorus; "Glory to the Lord on high and peace upon the earth."
Verse 2
Tell how Jesus walked with us, a light to shine in our darkness; on the cross he took our sin and rose to life again.
Verse 3
Tell how Jesus lives in us and fills our hearts with his goodness; he will be our help and guide until he brings us home.
Verse 4
Tell of his great love for us and share the joy of forgiveness; ev'ryone who trusts in him is called a child of God.
Refrain 2
Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart ev'ry word; sing out his song of salvation, sing till his story is heard. tell me the story most precious, sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart ev'ry word; sing out his song of salvation, sing till his story is heard.
