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
