Intro 1

Verse 1
C 
(Someday I'll be strong
G 
enough to make that church bells ring
And when my voice grows steady
D 
I can help the choir sing
G 
Somehow I can be usefull
C 
so put me to the test
G 
I know I can't do very much but
D 
G 
Lord I'll do my best)
C 
Last night just at bed time I
G 
looked in upon my son
And the picture I saw as I stood there
was surely a blessed one
Proudly I watched and listened
D 
G 
to all he tried to say
C 
Cause it makes my heart just burst with
pride when I hear my children pray
G 
And he said dear Lord I'm just a little boy
D 
G 
and I don't know how to pray
But so many of your people
has slowly turned away
Well maybe there's something I can
C 
do to help in your great plan
I know I can't do very much
G 
but I'll do the best I can
D 
Couldn't I light the little candles
G 
or maybe sweep the pews
C 
I'll do anything dear Lord just
as long as it's for you
G 
Why can I open up the doors
or dust your sacred stand
I know I can do something
if you'll just hold my hand
Yes proudly I stood and listened
D 
G 
to all he tried to say
And it makes my heart just burst with pride
C 
when I hear my children pray
G 
(I know I can't do very much
D 
but Lord I'll do my best)
G
