TELL YOUR STORY



TELL YOUR STORY

Let me tell you a story
Of how it used to be
Come give God the Glory
With the man I used to be
I was born in a world of sin
Till I let God's Grace come in

We all have a tale to tell
Of who we used to be
Back on that road to Hell
Before Jesus set us free
Through our toils and pains
Remember He broke our chains!

Lift a shout of joy today
Shout of the promises He kept
Stand and point to the Way
He's awakened those who slept
So lifts trumpet, cry out loud
Be the light inside the cloud

We've all been lost and afraid
And we know the pain they feel
Tell them how we've been remade
And now by Grace we have the seal
So tell the lost your whole tale
How you left the road to Hell
AMEN
