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

Chorus 1
He held still enough so I could pour My Words into him.
He was weak enough so that I could shine through
And yet strong enough so I could use him,
Dependent on Me to pull him through.
David was My vessel and My tool.

Verse 2
And now the torch is passed to you,
My purpose must be fulfilled;
And you may wonder what to do,
How can you best do My will?
Well, the secret's still the same,
Close to Me you must remain,
And My children, this is all that you must do:

Chorus 2
Hold still enough, so I can pour My Love into you.
Be weak enough so that I can shine through,
And yet strong enough that I can use you,
Dependent on Me to pull you through,
And I'll make of you, oh, a better tool.

Chorus 3
If you'll hold still enough, so I can pour My Love into you.
Be weak enough so that I can shine through,
And yet strong enough that I can use you,
Dependent on Me to pull you through,
And I'll make of you a better tool.

And yet strong enough that I can use you,
Dependent on Me to pull you through,
And I'll make of you a better tool.
