A city set on a hill, a lamp on a stand,
A grain of salt, and a fisher of men,
The Bible calls me to be a witness to the Lamb.
But when the time comes to speak,
    I find I utter no cry.
Instead my mind goes blank
    and my throat gets dry.
Oh what a sinner I am
    to let these chances slip by.

CHORUS
Lord, help me tell my world
What You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled,
Shine a light for others to see.
It's not a matter of choice.
I need to lift up my voice,
'Cause you said, "Go, tell My world."

When I hide my candle behind
    the bushel of secrecy,
It's like keeping medicine
    from the sick and diseased,
All for the sake of pride.
    What would they think of me?
God, I need to proclaim
    the Gospel far and near.
Being scared is no excuse
    when perfect love casts out fear.
Grant me courage to share
    with him who has ears to hear.

CHORUS

I wanna tell them...
Love knows your name.
Love saw your pain;
Your sin and shame.
Love cared. Love came.
God's greatest plan,
Love became a man.
With your sin beset
Love died your death.
Three days and then
Love rose again,
Rose beyond the sky,
Now Love reigns on high.
This is your day
To come away.
Look to Him above.
Choose life. Choose Love.

Swift is the coming of that Day,
And if I fail to point the Way,
How many more souls will be cast away?

CHORUS

Lord, help me tell my world
What You've done for me.
Raise the banner unfurled,
This flag of liberty.
Someday in Paradise
I will the more rejoice,
Because I told my world.
You said, "Go, tell My world."
I need to tell my world.
