Something To Say - Bill Gaither

Now I’ve heard some talkers

And I’ve heard some teachers

And I’ve heard some poets

And I’ve heard some preachers

And I’ve sung along

With some pretty good singers

And I’ve been in churches

Where the sweet Spirit lingers.

But you’ve never lived

‘Till the words become true

‘Till forgiveness and mercy

Mean something to you

And you’ve never cried

‘Till the tears come from faith

You’ve never lived

‘Till you’ve had something to say.

Words are a mystery

We say them so freely

Some can bring heartache

Some can bring healing

Sometimes we’re broken

Sometimes it’s demanding

Sometimes we just go through it

To find understanding.

But you’ve never lived

‘Till the words become true

‘Till forgiveness and mercy

Mean something to you

And you’ve never cried

‘Till the tears come from faith

You’ve never lived

‘Till you’ve had something to say.

No, you’ve never cried

‘Till the tears come from faith

And you’ve never lived

‘Till you’ve had something to say.
