1 Because it is true, I am telling to others
The story of Jesus, the One whom I love,
My heart is rejoicing that He is my Saviour,
Some day I shall meet Him in mansions above.
Refrain:
O wonderful story of love everlasting!
It tells of a Saviour so tender and true;
‘Tis dear to my heart, and I never grow weary
Of telling the story, because it is true!
2 Because it is true, I will never feel weary,
Of telling the story which cannot grow old;
My lips are repeating it over and over,
Yet only a part of its beauty is told. [Refrain]
3 Because it is true, I will tell it with gladness
To others who know not my Saviour and Friend;
And when they have found Him, they too will repeat it,
The story of Jesus which never shall end. [Refrain]
