Lyrics:

Chorus:

Tell me the story of Jesus!

Tell me the story of Jesus!

Tell me the story of Jesus!

Tell me the story of Jesus!

Tell me the story of the Living Word

Who was in the beginning and created the world

Tell me the story of the God who came to earth, earth

Tell me the story of the God of love

Who was filled with compassion, leaving Heaven above

Tell me the story of my Lord's incarnate birth, birth

Repeat Chorus

Tell me the story of the Chosen One

Who was tempted by Satan, but was never overcome

Living a life within the Father's will and way, way

Tell of the love of the obedient Son

Whose commitment and loyalty was second-to-none

Dying a death declaring more than words can say

Oh won't you,

Repeat Chorus

Bridge:

Tell me the reason that He cried.

Tell me the reason that He died.

How, overcoming death, my Lord, He is alive

Tell me the story of the Living Word

Who was in the beginning and created the world

Tell me the story of the God who came to earth!

Tell me the story of the God of love

Who was filled with compassion, leaving Heaven above

Tell me the story of my Lord's incarnate birth, birth

Repeat Chorus (with stepouts and fade)
