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
 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
