Tell Me The Time Lyrics | Whitecross

Tell Me the Time LyricsWent walking, people were a gawkin
Saw him like a many times before
He was dirty, a little topsy turvy
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?"
Nerves were jumpin, my heart start to pumpin
As he looked up, I started to pray

"Dear Lord, please give me wisdom
Help me to be lead."
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 receivin
Hey there, looky here, I'll make it clear
If you listen, I'll tell you the time!

Well I told him, the lies the Devil sold him
Would only bring him more pain to his heart
There was someone, I knew he could rely on
To help give his life a brand new start
And all the burden, 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
For that rapture day

"Say, can you tell me the time?"
And now he is believin'
"Hey, can you tell me the time?"
His blinded eyes can see
"Say, won't you tell me the time?"
The time he did receive Him
No more Mr. Poor, brand new score
When he prayed, he opened the door
You might also likeAnd 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 sound

"Dear Lord, please give me wisdom
Help me to be lead."
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 receivin
Don't ya pout, never doubt, check it out
Tell 'em what it's all about

"Say, can you tell me the time?"
And now he is believin
"Hey, can you tell me the time?"
His blinded eyes can see
"Say, won't you tell me the time?"
Time he did receive Him
Hey there, looky here
They'll listen, so tell em the time!
They'll listen, so tell em the time!
