Someday I′ll be strong enough to make the church bells ring
And when my voice grows steady, I can help the choir sing
Somehow I can be useful, so put me to the test
I know I can't do very much, but Lord, I′ll do my best
Last night, just at bedtime, I looked in upon my son
And the picture I saw as I stood there was surely a blessed one
Proudly I watched and listened to all he tried to say
'Cause it makes my heart just burst
With pride when I hear my children pray
And he said, "Dear Lord, I'm just a
Little boy and I don′t know how to pray
But so many of your people have slowly turned away
Well, maybe there′s something I can do to help in your great plan
I know I can't do very much, but I′ll do the best I can
Couldn't I light the little candles or maybe sweep the pew?
I′ll do anything, dear Lord, just so long as it's for you
Why, I could open up the doors or dust your sacred stand
I know I could do something if you′ll just hold my hand"
Yes, proudly I stood and listened to all he tried to say
And it makes my heart just burst with
Pride when I hear my children pray
I know I can't do very much, but Lord, I'll do my best
