lyrics

Ordinary Man (2001)

Noah was an extraordinary man
He did some things I might not do
Jumped in a boat on dry land
Sayin, “Lord, I do believe in You”

How could I ever match up
To such great men of faith?
I am just an ordinary man
But Lord, I do believe in You!

Then there was Abraham,
who gave his One and only son
Well I am a Daddy too
And let me tell you that’s a real tough one

Well - we all know the story of David
And that real tall guy too
He took an impossible situation
And said, “I do believe in You!”

How could I ever match up To such great men of faith?
I am just an ordinary man
But Lord I do believe in You!
Lord I do believe in You - yeah

You are my strength, oh Lord
I come to You, I come
My eyes and ears may fool me into
Thinkin’ that You could never come through
But my heart believes in You --- yeah
You are my strength, oh Lord
I come to You, I come
My eyes and ears may fool me into
Thinkin’ that You could never come through
But my heart believes in You --- yeah

How could I ever match up
To such great men of faith?
I am just an ordinary man
But Lord, I do believe in You!

Lord I do believe in You
Lord, I do believe... in You!
