I Love To Tell The Story

I Love To Tell The Story 
by Emmylou Harris
                               
C                           F              C
I love to tell the story of unseen things above
   G7            C                      G7
Of Jesus and His glory of Jesus and his love
                   C       Am                E7
I love to tell the story because I know 'tis true
  F              C          G7               C
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do 
 
G7                 C        F                   C
I love to tell the story  'twill be my theme in glory
                      F       C     G7      C
To tell the old  old story of Jesus and his love 
                              F           C
I love to tell the story 'tis pleasant to repeat
     G7                C                         G7
What seems each time I tell it  more wonderfully sweet
            
                   C      Am                  E7
I love to tell the story  for some have never heard
    F          C              G7             C
The message of salvation from God's own holy word 
G7                 C       F                    C
I love to tell the story  'twill be my theme in glory
                     F        C     G7      C
To tell the old  old story of Jesus and His love 
 
                             F                 C
I love to tell the story  for those who know it best
    G7             C                             G7
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest
                       C        Am                E7
And when  in scenes of glory  I sing the new  new song
      F              C            G7            C
Twill be the old old story that I have loved so long 
  
  G7              C        F                    C
I love to tell the story  'twill be my theme in glory
                      F       C     G7      C
To tell the old  old story of Jesus and his love 
                      F       C     G7       C
To tell the old  old story of Jesus and his love
