To Tell Them Lyrics
Rich Mullins First Timothy 4:1-16, Second Timothy 4:1-5
Some people came here to party Some people came here to pray Some will stay until they're sorry Some'll be sad to have to go away Some people came here to listen Some people came here to talk Some people don't know how much they've been given Some people thank the Lord for what little they've got
But there's just one thing you've got to tell them Tell them one you've got to tell them all Because there ain't nobody so bad That the Lord can't save 'em Ain't nobody so good that they don't need God's love And there's one thing you've got to show them Just one thing you've got to let them see It don't make no difference what else that you may be wanting The love of God is the thing they need It's the thing they need
Some people came here on business Some people came on R&R Some strut around in their fancy stiches Some sink low because they got to hide some nasty scars There's some people can be so pious (pious) Some people are so depraved (depraved) Some of them seem to thrive on the quiet Some are just dyin' to go out and to make some waves
But there's just one thing you've got to tell them Tell them one you've got to tell them all Because there ain't nobody so bad That the Lord can't save 'em Ain't nobody so good that they don't need God's love And there's one thing you've got to show them Just one thing you've got to let them see It don't make no difference what else that you may be wanting The love of God is the thing they need It's the thing they need (It's the thing they need)
Well, you can talk about fashion You can talk about the weather It's all just stuff and it all goes up in flames Just in case somebody comes askin' Why don't you do 'em one better If you got to talk why don't you tell 'em 'Bout the things that remain the same
But there's just one thing you've got to tell them Tell them one you've got to tell them all Because there ain't nobody so bad That the Lord can't save 'em Ain't nobody so good that they don't need God's love 'Cause there's one thing you've got to show them Just one thing you've got to let them see It don't make no difference what else that you may be wanting The love of God is the thing you need It's the thing they need (It's the thing we need) It's the thing they need It's the thing they need
