Can You Tell? Starlight Spiritual Singers 1951
I love to tell, the blessed story,
Of what the Lord has done.
How he lived, his home in glory,
That a life now, might be won.
I know I heard, heard Paul and Silas
Heard ole Daniel in the lion's den
Can you tell, Oh, anything, He's done for you.
Oh, can you tell, (can you tell)
Anything now, (can you tell)
That the lord (can you tell)
Has done for you (can you tell)
can you tell,(can you tell)
Just one little thing (can you tell)
He's done for you (can you tell)
Oh Yes, (can you tell)
Oh I know you've heard,
God's children say
Oh, that the Lord,
Would make the way
Can you tell, (can you tell)
Anything (can you tell)
He's done for you (Anything)
He's done for you?
