If You Ask

I hate sticking out from the crowd
 I'd rather hide behind my thick glasses
 I'm much too shy to fight or speak out loud
 I'd rather scratch a chalkboard
 Than talk about myself
 Oh, but you are all that I treasure
 It's time to share the wealth
 So if you ask
 I'll show my face
 Yeah if you ask me
 I'll go anywhere you say
 I'll shout your name to the mountain tops
 Alleluia!
 Praise the Lord!
 I can't believe the things they're saying about you
 Makes me want to curl up and cry
 I wish they knew
 How much you suffered
 To save them from the everlasting fire
 Oh, but tough times call for tough measures
 This time it's down to the wire
 So if you ask
 I'll show my face
 Yeah, if you ask me
 I'll go anywhere you say
 I'll shout your name to the mountain tops
 Alleluia!
 Praise the Lord!
 But your voice is so hard to hear sometimes
 When the going gets rough I want to run away
 No one lights a fire to hide it from view
 So let it shine...
 Let it shine...
 Let it shine!
 So if you ask
 I'll show my face
 Yeah, if you ask me
 I'll go anywhere you say
 I'll shout your name to the mountain tops
 Alleluia!
 Praise the Lord!
