All the kings and queens and their horses and their men
All the worldly leaders and all the presidents
All the rich and powerful and all the posh elite
Will God even notice little ol’ me?
I work hard to make a living, don't wanna land up on the street
I work my fingers to the bone to try and make ends meet
But there are so many who are so much more in need
Will God even notice little ol' me
But the ways of God are not of man, He sees things differently
He came to earth as one of us and gave His life for me
His love heals my brokenness, His Word lights my path
His blood has made me clean and I'm pardoned from His wrath
He rose from the grave and gave me life eternally
He gave His Spirit to me and set my spirit free
He began a work in me that He'll see through to the end
So watch this space cos my God's gonna make...
Something great out of little ol' me
I don't see myself as big. I'm just another nobody
I wouldn't face Goliath even with an RPG
I'm not an Einstein or a Plato or a Socrates
I don't feel brave, I don't feel smart, I'm just little ol' me
But struggles don’t seem so bad and troubles even less
'cause God is always with me even when I’m in distress
There always will be problems and trials will follow me
They’ll make me strong 'cause God’s workin’ on little ol' me
But the ways of God are not of man, He sees things differently
He came to earth as one of us and gave His life for me
His love heals my brokenness, His Word lights my path
His blood has made me clean and I'm pardoned from His wrath
He rose from the grave and gave me life eternally
He gave His Spirit to me and set my spirit free
He began a work in me that He'll see through to the end
So watch this space cos my God's gonna make...
Something great out of little ol' me
But the ways of God are not of man. He has a different view
He came to earth as one of us and gave His life for you
His love will heal your brokenness. His Word will light your path
His blood will make you clean and you’ll be pardoned from His wrath
He rose from the dead to give you life eternally
He'll give His Spirit to you and will set your spirit free
He'll start a work in you and He will see it through
So watch this space cos my God’s gonna make
Something great out of little ol' you
Little ol’ you, little ol’ you, and little ol’ me
