The story of Jesus, and what He did for desperate mankind - for me - is the most awesome story ever to be told.  See, I really like to leave words like "awesome" for things of God only.  God strikes me with AWE.  The story of Jesus strikes me with AWE.  He created - and then He stepped into His creation - His creation nailed Him to the cross.  The story of Jesus will stand before us through all eternity, as we dwell with Him - the piercings in His hands, feet and side still evident.

I Love To Tell The Story

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
I love to tell the story, because I know ’tis true;
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do.

Refrain

I love to tell the story, ’twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love.

I love to tell the story; more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story, it did so much for me;
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee.

Refrain

I love to tell the story; ’tis pleasant to repeat
What seems, each time I tell it, more wonderfully sweet.
I love to tell the story, for some have never heard
The message of salvation from God’s own holy Word.

Refrain

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.

Refrain

This great hymn, "I Love To Tell the Story" was taken from a very long poem in 2 parts - "The Story Wanted" and "The Story Told."  Read the story of the hymn HERE.  You can read both parts of the poem HERE.

My favorite verse in the hymn the last:

I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest.
And when, in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song,
’Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long.

And I will never, never, never grow weary of hearing the story of Jesus.
