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 usefull 
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. 
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 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...
