I Can Tell You The Time Songtext
von Bill & Gloria Gaither and their Homecoming Friends

I remember the time (
I remember the time) when in darkness I wondered (farther from home)
On the mountain of sin (on the mountain of sin) I had traveled so long (
I had traveled so long)
Like the prodigal son (like the prodigal son) all my good I had squandered (sadly I roamed)
But the Savior came in (but the Savior came in) and He gave me a song (twas a beautiful song)


I can tell you now the time (
I can tell you the time), I can take you to the place (
I can show you the place)
Where the Lord saved me (where the Lord saved me) by His wonderful grace (by His wonderful grace)
But I can not tell you how (for I know not the how) and I can not tell you why (and I know not the why)
But He′ll tell me all about it (
He will tell me all about it) in the by and by (in the by and by)

I can never forget (
I can never forget) when He spoke to me gently (follow thou me)
In the fountain of life (in the fountain of life) there's a balm for your soul (there′s a balm for your soul)
So I heeded His voice (so I heeded His voice), He was speaking intently (glady I see)
Through His marvelous grace (through His marvelous grace) I am happy and whole (
I am happy and whole)


I can tell you now the time (
I can tell you the time), I can take you to the place (
I can show you the place)
Where the Lord saved me (where the Lord saved me) by His wonderful grace (by His wonderful grace)
But I can not tell you how (for I know not the how) and I can not tell you why (and I know not the why)
But He'll tell me all about it (
He will tell me all about it) in the by and by (in the by and by)
