Kenny Glass - Give Me Words

Verse

I couldn’t help but listen as I heard them in our room

When the doctor came and told him, “I’m afraid I have bad news”

”Life’s so very fragile and we’ve done all we can do.

The time you have is close at hand, my heart goes out to you”

I knew right then why God had brought me to that room that night

It wasn't for myself, you see, but to touch this stranger's life

I searched the bedside Bible looking for just what to say

Then I bowed my head and closed my eyes as I began to pray

Chorus

Give Me Words, precious Lord, words to use

That I might lead this soul to make his heart a home for You

Help me say so plain and clear, the words of hope he needs to hear

Give Me Words, precious Lord, words from You

Verse

Across the room he lay there, trying hard to hide his pain

So lost in all his thoughts he barely heard me call his name

I asked him if he'd care to talk, and when he said, “Okay”

I told him of the Father's love, while in my heart I prayed

Chorus

Give Me Words, precious Lord, words to use

That I might lead this soul to make his heart a home for You

Help me say so plain and clear, the words of hope he needs to hear

Give Me Words, precious Lord, words from You

Bridge

I shared with him John Three Sixteen and God’s amazing grace

And just how good it’s going to be to meet Him face to face

I believe my Jesus made a home inside of him that day

That peaceful look of sweet surrender came as he got saved

Now Lord, I pray

Chorus

Give Me Words, precious Lord, words to use

That I might lead more souls to make their hearts a home for You

Help me say so plain and clear, the words of hope they need to hear

Give Me Words, precious Lord, words from You
