Whitecross - Can You Tell Me The Time lyrics

rate me

Went walkin', people were a gawkin' <br />

Saw him like many times before <br />

He was dirty, a little topsy turvey <br />

No one cared about the burden he bore <br />

<br />

I was thinkin', man this dude's been drinkin' <br />

Could he even hear what I had to say <br />

My nerves a jumpin', heart started pumpin' <br />

As he looked up I started to pray <br />

<br />

O dear Lord please give me wisdom and help me to be led <br />

He walked up to me, looked right at me, and this is what he said <br />

<br />

Say, can you tell me the time <br />

Time to be leavin' <br />

Hey, can you tell me the time <br />

It's time for you to see <br />

Say, won't you tell me the time <br />

Time to be receivin' <br />

Hey there, looky here, I'll make it clear <br />

If you listen, I'll tell you the time <br />

<br />

Well, I told 'em the lies the devil sold him <br />

Would only bring more pain to his heart <br />

There was Someone I knew he could rely on <br />

To help give his life a brand new start <br />

<br />

And all the burdens that he had always carried <br />

Could be buried by Calvary's love <br />

The price was paid there, but no He didn't stay there <br />

He conquered death so we could join Him above <br />

<br />

Dear Lord won't ya please forgive me, I led him as he prayed <br />

And from now on he will be ready for that rapture day <br />

<br />

Now he can tell you the time <br />

And now he is believin' <br />

Hey he can tell you the time <br />

His blinded eyes can see <br />

Oh he can tell you the time <br />

The time he did receive Him <br />

<br />

No more Mr. Poor, brand new score <br />

When he prayed, he opened the door <br />

<br />

And now he turns to you <br />

And in him there are changes <br />

He knows just what to do <br />

He knows a lot of funny strangers <br />

And all the love he's found <br />

Puts an end to eternal danger <br />

He's tellin' you the time is now <br />

Check out this guitar sound <br />

<br />

Say, can you tell 'em the time <br />

Hey, can you tell 'em the time <br />

Won't you tell 'em the time <br />

<br />

Don't ya pout, never doubt, check it out <br />

Tell 'em what it's all about <br />

<br />

Say, can you tell me the time <br />

Time to be leavin' <br />

Hey, can you tell me the time <br />

It's time for you to see <br />

Say, won't you tell me the time <br />

Time to be receivin' <br />

Hey there, looky here, I made it clear
