  • If I told you my story
    You would hear Hope that wouldn't let go
    And if I told you my story
    You would hear Love that never gave up
    And if I told you my story
    You would hear Life, but it wasn't mine

    If I should speak then let it be
    Of the grace that is greater than all my sin
    Of when justice was served and where mercy wins
    Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in
    Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of Him

    If I told you my story
    You would hear victory over the enemy
    And if I told you my story
    You would hear freedom that was won for me
    And if I told you my story
    You would hear Life overcome the grave

    If I should speak, then let it be
    Of the grace that is greater than all my sin
    Of when justice was served and where mercy wins
    Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in
    Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of Him

    This is my story, this is my song
    Praising my savior all the day long
    This is my story, this is my song
    Praising my savior all the day long

    For the grace that is greater than all my sin
    Of when justice was served and where mercy wins
    Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in
    Oh to tell you my story
    Is to tell
    Of the grace that is greater than all my sin
    Of when justice was served and where mercy wins
    Of the kindness of Jesus that draws me in
    Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of Him
    Oh, to tell you my story is to tell of Him

    This is my story, this is my song
    Praising my Savior all the day long Writer/s: Jason Ingram, Michael Weaver

  • Lisa L from AlabamaYour song has always been a favorite but I recently had that meeting with God where I laid down my life which Oswald Chambers refers to it as a White Funeral. I'm moved by this type of contemporary Christian music because it takes an old hymn and breaths new life into it as He does with us but then you sing the hymn. And that hymn is very much My Story. How beautifully God brings all the details together. I'm glad I got to see the rest of the story behind the song. It gives it more depth of meaning to learn how it was birthed. Blessings Using your song to sing My Story.
