Verse 1
(D)Listen, children (A)of the Lord,
(Bm)My dearest (E)children on (A)Earth,
(D)Your Father David is (A)with Me (F#m)now,
(Bm)My faithful servant since (E)birth.(C#)
And you (F#m)want to be like him,
With My (C#m)Words the world to win,
Here's the (D)secret of your precious father's (E)life:

Chorus 1
He held (A)still enough so (D)I could pour My (A)Words into (F#m)him.
He was (Bm)weak enough so (E)that I could shine (A)through
And (A7)yet (D)strong enough so (E)I could use him,
De(C#m)pendent on Me to (F#m)pull him through.
(Bm)David was My (E)vessel and My (A)tool.
(Asus2)-(A)-(Asus2)

Verse 2
(D)And now the torch is (A)passed to you,
(Bm)My purpose (E)must be ful(A)filled; (A7)
(D)And you may wonder (A)what to (F#m)do,
(Bm)How can you best do My (E)will? (C#)
Well, the (F#m)secret's still the same,
Close to (C#m)Me you must remain,
And My (D)children, this is all that you must (E)do:

Chorus 2
Hold (A)still enough, so (D)I can pour My (A)Love into (F#m)you.
Be (Bm)weak enough so (E)that I can shine (A)through,
And (A7)yet (D)strong enough that (E)I can use you,
De(C#m)pendent on Me to (F#m)pull you through,
And I'll (Bm)make of you, oh, a (E)better tool.

Chorus 3
If you'll hold (A)still enough, so (D)I can pour My (A)Love into (F#m)you.
Be (Bm)weak enough so (E)that I can shine (A)through,
And (A7)yet (D)strong enough that (E)I can use you,
De(C#m)pendent on Me to (F#m)pull you through,
(Bm)And I'll make of (E)you a better (A)tool.
