Verse One: Old time preacher in a small town church bows his head to
pray | Early morning echoes off the empty walls in that
sacred place | In a few short hours this room will be filled with desperate
souls | And he’s begging God to tell him
what they need to know | And a still small voice says ||
CHORUS: Tell them that I love
them, that I died to set them free | Tell them there’s an answer
for everything
they need | Tell them there’s forgiveness and there’s hope
in suffering | The truth never gets old so say it again and
again | Tell them that I love them ||
Verse Two: He thinks about Charlie who just said goodbye to his bride
of fifty years |
Nathan and Sadie still praying for a baby through empty arms and tears
| This is where they’re running to find a
little peace inside their pain | And he’s pleading with the Savior
for the words to say | When a still small voice says
REPEAT CHORUS ||
BRIDGE: (Tell them) Grace is still amazing | There is power in the blood
| And the old rugged cross is enough ||
REPEAT CHORUS
|
