Tell of the man with the Legion
Bound by a strong enemy
Oppressed and ruined by demons
Until our Lord set him free
Behold our Lord’s greater pow-er
Salvation so rich and free
Desire and trust Him each ho-ur
Proclaim His grace and mercy
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
See Jesus on the storm-tossed sea
As the boat begins to fill
Hear Jesus – sleeping and weary
Wake up and say – “Peace, be still”
The wind and waves quickly obey
Behold His amazing power
So in your storms trust Him today
He’ll be with you ev’ry hour
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
See Jesus teaching by the sea
Calling Levi to follow
See Levi throwing a party
So Jesus his friends will know
See Jesus with sinners eating
And hear the proud Pharisees
Hear Jesus to sinners calling
Sinners just like you and me
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
Tell of Him in the house preaching
As four men carry their friend
See their committed faith reaching
Hear Him proclaim “Forgiven!”
See His divine authority
This man to heal and forgive
The crowds amazed cry out “Glory!”
Join them each day that you live
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
Once I was filled with leprosy
And filthy from all my sin
I heard that Jesus could help me
I ran and knelt before Him
With love he reached out and touched me
Cleansed me and made me brand new
I spread the news of his mercy
My friend – Jesus can save you
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
Here is a great old hymn with new music for today.
Jesus healed by His great pow-er
Hope in Him and serve each day
He prayed at an early ho-ur
Discipline yourself to pray
He came proclaiming the kingdom
Repent, believe, enter in
Proclaim that others may now come
And together follow Him
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
He spoke with great authority
His teaching – hear and obey
Submit with all humility
Amazed at all He does say
He cast out the unclean spirit
Be in awe of His great power
He is our hope now believe it
Spread forth His fame ev’ry hour
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(Some words by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
He came proclaiming the gospel
Sin and death overcoming
Turn from your sin and your idols
Believe in Jesus your King
Passing along by the seaside
He called to four: “Follow me”
Commit to join them at His side
Fishing for more to be free
Chorus
Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart ev’ry word
Tell me the story most precious
That I might live what I’ve heard
(First 3 lines of chorus by Fanny Crosby, to the tune of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus”)
