196. Tell Me the Old, Old Story

Ab                   Db  Ab     Fm            Ebsus Eb
Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Of unseen things above,

Eb7 Ab           Db        Ab    Eb      Ab
Of Jesus and His glory, Of Jesus and His love;

Eb          Eb7   Ab         Bb   Bb7    Eb
Tell me the story simply, As to a little child

Eb7 Ab            Db         Ab       Eb     Ab
For I am weak and weary, And helpless and de-filed.

Ab                   Db  Ab  Eb7                      Ab
Tell me the old, old sto-ry, Tell me the old, old sto-ry,

Tell me the old, old story, Of Jesus and His love.


[[Full Lyrics]]

[Verse 1]
Tell me the old, old story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory, of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the story simply, as to a little child,
For I am weak and weary, and helpless and defiled.

[Refrain]
Tell me the old, old story, tell me the old, old story,
Tell me the old, old story, of Jesus and His love.

[Verse 2]
Tell me the story softly, with earnest tones and grave;
Remember I’m the sinner whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me the story always, if you would really be,
In any time of trouble, a comforter to me.

[Verse 3]
Tell me the same old story when you have cause to fear
That this world’s empty glory is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world’s glory is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the old, old story: “Christ Jesus makes thee whole.”
