I don't have that much to give
or so it seems
just a farm boy from the country
is all I thought I'd be
but he saved me and he spoke to me
to share the gospel truth
and I wonder why he chose me
there's so little I can do
there's so many stories
in the Bible that I read
this purpose is fulfilled
by the simplest of things
if he can take some rugged wood
and those three old rusty nails
if he can use the fallen walls
inside a pagan Roman jail
if he can use a storm-tossed fishing boat
on the Sea of Galilee
if he can use a simple searchin' wounded hurtin'
broken men like me
.
When I was young I sold my oats
I reaped more than a few
but since God got ahold of me
I've learned a thing or two
it's not the tools he uses
it's the power in his touch
I remind myself when I start thinkin'
I'm not near enough
if he can use some rugged wood
and those three old rusty nails
if he can use the fallen walls
inside a pagan Roman jail
if he can use a storm-tossed fishing boat
on the Sea of Galilee
if he can use a simple searchin' wounded hurtin'
broken men like me
.
I'm not a famous man
but I don't have to be
it's all about his glory
and now I clearly see
if he can use some rugged wood
and those three old rusty nails
if he can use the fallen walls
inside a pagan Roman jail
if he can use a storm-tossed fishing boat
on the Sea of Galilee
if he can use a simple searchin' wounded hurtin'
broken men like me
.
an ordinary man
like me
a simple man
like me
.
