I Can Tell You the Time

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
Like the prodigal son (like the prodigal son)
All my goods I had squadered (sadly I roam)
But the Savior came in (but the Savior came in)
And He gave me a song

I can tell you now the time (I can tell 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
But I cannot tell you how (for I know not the how)
And I cannot 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

I shall never forget (I shall 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
So I heeded His voice (so I heeded His voice)
He was speaking intently (gladly I see)
Through His marvelous grace (through His marvelous grace)
I am happy and whole

I can tell you now the time (I can tell 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
But I cannot tell you how (for I know not the how)
And I cannot 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

I can tell you now the time (I can tell 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
But I cannot tell you how (for I know not the how)
And I cannot 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
He will tell about it
In the by and by (In the by and by)
