[Intro]
G Cadd9 G Am
[Verse]
GI don't have that much to give,
Amor so it seems.
Just a Dfarm kid from the country is
all GI thought Cadd9I'd ever Gbe.
[Verse]
GBut he saved me and he spoke to me
to Cadd9share the Ggospel Amtruth.
And I Cwonder why he Gchose me;
there's so Amlittle I can Ddo.
[Pre-Chorus]
Cadd9There's so man Gstories
throughout the Ambible that I Gread.
AmHis purpose is Gfulfilled
by the Cadd9simplest of things
[Chorus]
If he can use some Grugged wood and those Cadd9three old Grusty Amnails,
if he can use the Dfallen walls inside of Cadd2pagan CRoman Gjails,
Gif he can use a storm-tossed fishing boat on the Cadd9Sea of GGaliAmlee,
he can use a Csimple searching Gwounded hurtin'    Am  Gbroken man like me.
[Instrumental Break]
G G Am C
[Verse]
GWhen I was lost I sowed my oats.
AmReaped more than a few.
DBut since God reached out to me,
I've Glearned a Cadd9thing or Gtwo
[Verse]
GIt's not the tools he uses
It's the Cadd9power Gin his Amtouch.
I Cremind myself when GI start thinking
Cadd9I'm not all that much.
[Chorus]
If he can use some Grugged wood and those Cadd9three old Grusty Amnails,
if he can use the Dfallen walls inside of Cadd2pagan CRoman Gjails,
Gif he can use a storm-tossed fishing boat on the Cadd9Sea of GGaliAmlee,
he can use a Csimple searching Gwounded hurtin'    Am  Gbroken man like me.
[Instrumental Break]
C G
[Bridge]
GOh, I'm not the greatest Amman,
but I don't Dhave to be.
[Chorus]
If he can use some Grugged wood and those Cadd9three old Grusty Amnails,
if he can use the Dfallen walls inside of Cadd2pagan CRoman Gjails,
Gif he can use a storm-tossed fishing boat on the Cadd9Sea of GGaliAmlee,

It's the power in his touch.

If he can use some rugged wood and those three old rusty nails,
