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
