Someday I'll be strong enough to make that 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 bed time 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 has slowly turned away

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 pews
I'll do anything dear Lord just as long as it's for you
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 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

Someday I'll be strong enough to make that 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
