c V. Michael McKay
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
