15. Show and Tell*
I
Before we were born to the parents we love,
We lived with our Father in Heaven above.
With His Son, Jesus, they taught us the way,
That we could go back to that Heaven someday.
Chorus:
Show me and tell me the things I should say,
That I can become like Lord Jesus someday.
Show me and tell me the things I should do,
To go back to Heaven and live there with you.
2
When Jesus lived here, a long time ago,
He blessed all the children and helped them to grow.
He showed them the way, by His life and His love,
That they could live with Him in Heaven above.
Chorus:
Show me and tell me the things I should say,
That I can become like Lord Jesus someday.
Show me and tell me the things I should do,
To go back to Heaven, and live there with you.
3
Please tell me the stories of Jesus I love,
Please show me the way I can feel Jesus’ love.
Show me and tell me our dear Father’s plan.
For though I’m a child, I'll still understand.
Chorus:
Show me and tell me the things I should say,
That I can become like Lord Jesus someday.
Show me and tell me the things I should do,
To go back to Heaven, and live there with you.
