Tell me the time · letra

Went walkin', people were a gawkin' Saw him like many times before He was dirty, a little topsy turvey No one cared about the burden he bore
I was thinkin', man this dude's been drinkin' Could he even hear what I had to say My nerves a jumpin', heart started pumpin' As he looked up I started to pray
O dear Lord please give me wisdom and help mo to be led He walked up to me, looked right at me, and this is what he said
Say, can you tell me the time Time to be leavin' Hey, can you tell me the time It's time for you to see Say, won't you tell me the time Time to be recivin' Hey there, looky here, I'll make it clear If you listen, I'll tell you the time
Well, I told 'em the lies the devil sold him Would only bring more pain to his heart There was Someon I knew he could rely on To help give his life a brand new start
And all the burdens that he had always carried Could be buried by Calvary's love The price was paid there, but no He didn't stay there He conquered death so we could join Him above
Dear Lord won't ya please forgive me, I led him as he prayed And from now on he will be ready foor that rapture day
Now he can tell you the time And now he is belivin' Hey he can tell you the time His blinded eyes can see Oh he can tell tou the time The time he did receive Him
No more Mr. Poor, brande new score When he prayed, he opened the door
And now he turns to you And in him there are changes He knows just what to do He knows a lot of funny strangers And all the love he's found Puts an end to eternal danger He's tellin' you the time is now Check out this guitar's sound
Say, can you tell 'em the time Hey, can you tell 'em the time Won't you tell 'em the time
Don't ya pout, never doubt, check it out Tell 'em what it's all about
Say, can you tell me the time Time to be leavin' Hey, can you tell me the time It's time for you to see Say, won't you tell me the time Time to be receivin' Hey there, looky here, I made it clear They'll listen so tell 'em the time
