Just Think What God Can Do
(words by Bill Leach and music by Jeff Reeves)

If God can teach a bird to sing, great whales to swim the sea, just think of all the
wondrous things that He can do with me. Think of all the wondrous things that God can
do with me, things so great and wondeiful that God can do, that God can do with me.

If God can shape great mountain peaks, and form deep valleys, too, just think of all the
wondrous things that He can do with you. Think of all the wondrous things that God can
do with YOII, things so great and wondeifulthat God can do, that God can do with you.

If God can paint a sunset without an artist's brush, just think of all the wondrous things
that God can do with us. Think of all the wondrous things that God can do with us, things
so great and wondeifulthat God can dn, that God can do with us.
