Chorus:
You've been readin' in the Word
And you've been talkin' to the Lord
I could tell it right away, you've been in it night and day
I could tell by what you do and what you say
Chorus 2:
You've been readin' in the Word (I could tell, tell)
And you've been talkin' to the Lord (I could tell, tell)
I could tell it right away, you've been in it night and day (I could tell, tell)
I could tell by what you do and what you say (I could tell)
Well if you're bearin' fruit
It shows that you're on the vine
And lovin' one another proves that
You're really mine
The things you say and do
Reflect the state of your heart
So love the Lord with all of your heart
Repeat Chorus 2
All the world is lookin'
For some peace in their mind (oh we're lookin')
They seek it high and low
And yet just trouble they find (oh we're seekin')
But you and I, we know
The message they need to hear (oh we can tell it)
If we'll just tell them Jesus is near (tell 'em He's right hear)
Repeat Chorus 2
(interlude)
Repeat Chorus 2
Bridge:
I can see by your smile
And your spiritual style
I'm so happy to know
That you're growin'
You've got hope in your eyes
And you're faithful and wise
You've got love in your heart
And it's showin'
I can see you growin'
You've been readin' in the Word
And you've been talkin' to the Lord
You've been readin' in the Word
And you've been talkin' to the Lord
Repeat Chorus 1 (x2)
