Tell about Jesus
I’m a rhythm guitarist, though a bit rusty these days. Musically, my personal preference is for contemporary gospel/worship songs. Though I appreciate and love some of the old hymns too.
The most important thing of course are the lyrics. Those songs that are God-glorifying, Jesus-focused and Spirit-anointed. The Spirit glorifies Christ and the Father is glorified in his Son.
I knew this particular song when I was a child. And had forgotten it. Until recently, when the lyrics spontaneously came to mind. I became quite emotional: “Tell me the story of Jesus, write on my heart every word.” I’m now in my early 70s.
This afternoon I found this link to the song online, combined with another song:
You’ll find the full text in the description.
I’m not trying to promote nor demote an older style of music. It’s the lyrics that are precious. The music simply supports the message.
Tell me about Jesus. Those historical, eternally important and life-changing facts about the Son of God, our Saviour. He's alive.
Tell others about him too. Wherever you live or go across the globe.
