Before I Tell Them Lyrics

Before I Tell Them
Lord, please tell me
Before I serve them
Lord, please serve me
How can I lead
Where I've not been
How can I show
If I don't know
Before I tell them
Lord, please tell me


Before I teach them
Lord, please teach me
Before I reach out to them
Lord, reach out to me
How can I lead
Where I've not been
How can I show
If I don't know
Before I tell them
Oh Lord, please tell me

Before I tell them my way
Sit me down and make me silent
And give it to me your way
Please don't let the things I do
Distract me from hearing a word from you

Before I tell them
Lord, tell me
Before I serve them
Please serve me
Before I say one word or sing one word
Say it or sing it in me
Before I tell them
Oh Lord, tell me
Teach me; show me; reach out to me;
Tell me
