Before I tell them

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 - Lord please tell me


Before I tell it my way
Sit me down and make me silent
And give it to me your way
Please don't let the 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
