I Cannot Change the World

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

"...the Lord has assigned to each his task. I planted the seed, Apollos watered it, but God made it grow. So neither he who plants, nor he who waters is anything, but only God who makes things grow. The man who plants and the man who waters have one purpose, and each will be rewarded according to his own labor. For we are God's fellow workers. You are God's field, God's building." I Corinthians 3:5-9
