Dec 30 - I Love to Tell the Story of Jesus and His Love!

  
Bible Verse: Luke 8:38-39 Common English Bible (CEB) "The man from whom the demons had gone begged to come along with Jesus as one of His disciples. Jesus sent him away, saying,  “Return home and tell the story of what God has done for you.” So he went throughout the city proclaiming what Jesus had done for him."

Prayer: "Dear Jesus, I don't know that You have ever chased actual demons from me, but I know that I have struggled with many figurative "demons" in my life, many of which You have rescued me from.  I want to shout it loud and clear, from hilltop to hilltop -- "Jesus saved me!"  Oh, how I wish everyone could know the precious joy and peace that can be found in knowing You as their Lord and Savior!  Until the day that I die, I will continue to proclaim Your love and saving grace to anyone who will listen. May my last words be, "Thank You, Jesus, for saving me!" In Your precious and holy name I pray, AMEN."

"I Love to Tell the Story"

I love to tell the story of unseen things above,
Of Jesus and His glory of Jesus and His love!
I love to tell the story because I know 'tis true --
It satisfies my longings as nothing else can do!

I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love!

I love to tell the story  -- more wonderful it seems
Than all the golden fancies of all our golden dreams.
I love to tell the story -- it did so much for me,
And that is just the reason I tell it now to thee!


I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love!

 
I love to tell the story, for those who know it best
Seem hungering and thirsting to hear it like the rest,
And when in scenes of glory, I sing the new, new song --
'Twill be the old, old story that I have loved so long!


I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love!


I love to tell the story,
'Twill be my theme in glory,
To tell the old, old story,
Of Jesus and His love!
