I Could Tell

Chorus:

You've been readin' in the Word

And you've been talkin' to the Lord

I could tell it right away, you've been in it night and day

I could tell by what you do and what you say

Chorus 2:

You've been readin' in the Word (I could tell, tell)

And you've been talkin' to the Lord (I could tell, tell)

I could tell it right away, you've been in it night and day (I could tell, tell)

I could tell by what you do and what you say (I could tell)

Well if you're bearin' fruit

It shows that you're on the vine

And lovin' one another proves that

You're really mine

The things you say and do

Reflect the state of your heart

So love the Lord with all of your heart

Repeat Chorus 2

All the world is lookin'

For some peace in their mind (oh we're lookin')

They seek it high and low

And yet just trouble they find (oh we're seekin')

But you and I, we know

The message they need to hear (oh we can tell it)

If we'll just tell them Jesus is near (tell 'em He's right hear)

Repeat Chorus 2

(interlude)

Repeat Chorus 2

Bridge:

I can see by your smile

And your spiritual style

I'm so happy to know

That you're growin'

You've got hope in your eyes

And you're faithful and wise

You've got love in your heart

And it's showin'

I can see you growin'

You've been readin' in the Word

And you've been talkin' to the Lord

You've been readin' in the Word

And you've been talkin' to the Lord

Repeat Chorus 1 (x2)
