Tell Them Again Words and Music by bob padgett November 8, 2005—Stony Brook, New York ©2005 clamchop creative studio Suggested by a chapel talk on Psalm 78, given by Robert E. Gustafson, Jr., Headmaster of The Stony Brook School, on November 8, 2005 Tell them the story of the disciples on the sea How they feared for their lives that gloomy day Tell them the tale of how He walked upon the waves, So they’ll never forget the storm obeyed Tell them the story of that little Sammy boy How he served in the temple day and night Tell them the tale of how he heard the voice of God, So they’ll strain to hear Him call them to the Light refrain: Tell them, tell them, tell them again Tell them, tell them again So they’ll never, never, never forget Tell them Tell them the story of the girl from Bethany How she bathed Him in perfume that fateful week Tell them the tale of how she hung upon His words, So they’ll find their truest calling at His feet Tell them the story of the son who walked away How he counted father dead so he could roam Tell them the tale about his Daddy’s open arms, So they’ll always know it’s safe to come back home refrain Tell them the story of the monster in his chains How the haunter of the graves was haunted too Tell them the tale of how He drove that Legion out So they’ll never forget they can be free Tell them the story of Mary at the Tomb Of her desolation, loneliness, her strife Tell them the tale of how He startled her by name So they’ll never forget He is alive refrain close
