You worship You, You worship You
You are here working in this place
You worship You, You worship You

You are Waymaker, miracle worker, promise keeper
Light in the darkness
My God, that is who You are

The Charlotte Richie and Ivan Parker Cover of "Tell Me the Story of Jesus"

Another song that often replays in my mind is the cover of “Tell Me the Story of Jesus” by Charlotte Richie and Ivan Parker, featured on the Gaither Homecoming album. This song’s deep and meaningful lyrics provide a powerful message of faith and hope:

Tell me the story of Jesus,
Write on my heart every word.
Tell me the story most precious,
Sweetest that ever was heard.
Tell how the angels in chorus,
Sang as they welcomed His birth.
Glory to God in the highest,
Peace and glad tidings to earth.
Come tell me the story of Jesus,
Tell me the story of Calvary.
Abide with Me,
.AlertDialog called to thee,
Let peace dominionize thee,
Come with the love in my heart.
Abide with Me,
Come tell me the story of Jesus.

This iconic song has the power to inspire and motivate, especially when I’m in the zone, whether working out or focusing on something challenging.
