Only He Can


I can’t build

the bridge

But I can cross it

when asked

 

I can’t mark

the trail

But I can follow

when tasked

 

I can’t light

the fire

But I can warm

in its glow

 

I can’t walk

on water

But I can bathe

in its flow

 

I can’t play

the harp

But know an Angel

with hands

 

I can’t save

the masses

But love a Savior

— who can
