Someone Who Can

I can't move a mountain

or turn the water into wine,

Dry up a running fountain

or cast demons into swine.

I can't make a flower bloom

or turn the ocean into sand.

But, I know someone that did

and I know someone who can.

I can't make a blind man see

or cause the lame to walk.

I've never healed a leper

or made a deaf mute talk ..

And I've never made a rainbow.

I guess that wasn't in God's plan.

But, I know someone that did

and I know someone who can.
  
I've never walked on water

or saved another soul.

I've never cleansed a woman's blood

and made her body whole.

I haven't worked one miracle

because I'm just a mortal man.

I've never raised one from the dead.

But, I know someone who can.

Yes, I know someone who can

and Jesus is His name.

He's the miracle worker of the universe.

He's earned world wide acclaim.

He's the giver of salvation,

the healer of mankind,

The King of every nation

who can stop the hands of time.

I can't part the waters

like He did, at the Red Sea,

Or heal a Roman soldier's daughter

just by saying, "Let it be."

I can't make a water stream

pour out of rocks and sand.

But, I know a man called Jesus

and I know someone who can.
