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, 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 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
