I plowed the fields and I planted the seed I worked my hands to the bone
But the ground laid barren till He sent the sunshine for I can do nothing alone
I raised the corn and I rode to the mill with the best crop I ever had grown
But the wheel wouldn't grind till He stirred the waters for I can do nothing alone
I can do nothing alone I'm weak and my Master is strong
I held the pencil but He wrote this song for I can do nothing alone
[ steel ]
And now as my years lead me into the valley I've asked Him to please come home
For I walk in search of the good life hereafter and I can do nothing alone
I can do nothing alone...
