I wanna hear the story
I wanna hear the story
I really wanna hear the story
Of Him who died for me

I wanna hear the story
I wanna hear the story
I really wanna hear the story
Of Him who died for me

Tell me the story of Jesus
Write on my heart every word
Tell me the story most precious
Sweetest that ever was heard

Wonderful, marvellous, the prince of peace
Wonderful, marvellous is His name
And that's the reason why I love him so
Jesus is the sweetest name I know

Jesus is the sweetest name I know
And he is just the same as His lovely name
That's the reason why I love him so
'Cause Jesus is the sweetest name I know

I wanna hear the story
I wanna hear the story
I really wanna hear the story
Of Him who died for me

I wanna hear the story
I wanna hear the story
I really wanna hear the story
Of Him who died for me

Tell of the cross where they laid Him
Written in anguish and pain
Tell of the grave where they laid Him
Tell how he lives He lives again

Jesus is the conqueror, He is the counsellor
He is the mighty God, the King of Kings
That's the reason why I love him so
Jesus is the sweetest name I know

Jesus is the sweetest name I know
And he is just the same as His lovely name
That's the reason why I love him so
'Cause Jesus is the sweetest name I know

I wanna hear the story
I wanna hear the story
I really wanna hear the story
Of Him who died for me

I wanna hear the story
I wanna hear the story
I really wanna hear the story
Of Him who died for me

I wanna hear the story
I wanna hear the story
I really wanna hear the story
Of Him who died for me
