I Cannot Change the World
 

I cannot change the world, Lord,
No matter how I try.
Only You have power
Of things beneath the sky.
 

But, still You do encourage
the little things I do,
Like showing love and kindness
And telling folks of you.
 

I cannot change the world, Lord,
But I can love and care.
I know that You will nurture
Each seed I plant out there.
 

And You will bring forth blossoms
From little things I do.
I cannot change the world, Lord,
but I'll do my best for You.
 

John and Edna Massimilla
