Wonderful story of love;
Tell it to me again;
Wonderful story of love;
Wake the immortal strain!
Angels with rapture announce it,
Shepherds with wonder receive it;
Sinner, O won’t you believe it?
Wonderful story of love;
Though you are far away;
Wonderful story of love;
Still He doth call today;
Calling from Calvary’s mountain,
Down from the crystal bright fountain,
E’en from the dawn of creation, [Refrain]
Wonderful story of love;
Jesus provides a rest;
Wonderful story of love;
For all the pure and blest,
Rest in those mansions above us,
With those who’ve gone on before us,
Singing the rapturous chorus, [Refrain]
Refrain
Wonderful story of love,
Wonderful! Wonderful!
Wonderful, wonderful story of love.
J. M. Driver, 1885
Read Psalm 40:1-5
Is it a wonderful story? Or are we so familiar with it that it’s become ordinary? Perhaps we need to take some time to remember where we were when Jesus found us. Consider where we’d be without Him. It’s a story worth telling.
