Hello there,
Reading through the book of Ephesians this morning, this hymn came to mind, for as I read the Lord was bringing me under conviction, and readjusting my mind and heart, which had become contaminated by the world and it's ways.
* This world's empty glory had been dawning on my soul, and my mind and heart were becoming taken up by the things of this world, instead of upon the Lord: I needed to hear that Old, Old Story again, and be brought into His presence, to sit at His feet and be washed by the word of God from all the world's influence and it's ways.
Thank you for listening.
In Christ Jesus

'Tell me the old, old story
.. Of unseen things above,
.... Of Jesus and His glory,
...... Of Jesus and His love,
Tell me the Story simply,
.. As to a little child,
.... For I am weak and weary,
......And helpless and defiled.
Chorus:
Tell me the Old, Old Story,
Of Jesus and His love.
Tell me the Story slowly,
.. That I may take it in
.... That wonderful redemption,
...... God's remedy for sin.
Tell me the Story often,
.. For I forget so soon:
.... The 'early dew' of morning
...... Has passed away at noon.
Tell me the Story softly,
.. With earnest tones and grave;
.... Remember! I'm the sinner
...... Whom Jesus came to save.
Tell me that Story always,
.. If you would really be
.... In any time of trouble
...... A Comforter to me.
Tell me the same Old Story,
.. When you have cause to fear
.... That this world's empty glory,
...... Is costing me too dear.
Yes, and when that world's glory,
Is dawning on my soul,
Tell me the Old, Old Story:
"Christ Jesus makes thee whole"
.. Of unseen things above,
.... Of Jesus and His glory,
...... Of Jesus and His love,
Tell me the Story simply,
.. As to a little child,
.... For I am weak and weary,
......And helpless and defiled.
