Not being relisious myself I don't have too many of them, but I do agree with you Azizi about "Precious Lord Take my Hand".

277. Tell Me the Stories of Jesus Text: William H. Parker Music: Frederick A. Challinor Tune: STORIES OF JESUS, Meter: 84.84.54.54 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. Tell me the stories of Jesus I love to hear; things I would ask him to tell me if he were here: scenes by the wayside, tales of the sea, stories of Jesus, tell them to me.
2. First let me hear how the children stood round his knee, and I shall fancy his blessing resting on me; words full of kindness, deeds full of grace, all in the lovelight of Jesus' face.
3. Into the city I'd follow the children's band, waving a branch of the palm tree high in my hand; one of his heralds, yes, I would sing loudest hosannas, "Jesus is King!"
