~Nothing Is Impossible

       Eugene L. Clark literally personified the title of his most famous song, “Nothing Is Impossible.”

       Although his fingers once flew across the piano keyboard, he later became a victim of crippling arthritis and also totally blind. When it finally became impossible for Clark to continue playing the organ or piano, he requested that they bring to his bedside a dictating machine. With this marvelous electric invention and his most valuable possession, a keen mind, he continued to give to the world his beautiful musical offering.

       A note, a rest, a bar, and a dot at a time, the machine has recorded the product of his active mind—something that neither total blindness nor crippling arthritis could conquer.

       Hundreds of gospel songs and hymns, scores of choir arrangements, and three missionary cantatas have flowed through his dedicated heart and mind into the Christian world.

       His best-known song, “Nothing Is Impossible,” was introduced in 1964. Clark was quick to credit his wife with a great deal of the success of his ministry. Her love, loyalty, and patience were invaluable assets to his work.

Nothing Is Impossible

(1) I read in the Bible the promise of God,

That nothing for Him is too hard;

Impossible things He has promised to do,

If we faithfully trust in His Word.

CHORUS:

Nothing is impossible

when you put your trust in God;

Nothing is impossible

when you're trusting in His Word.

Hearken to the voice of God to thee:

"Is there anything too hard for Me?"

Then put your trust in God alone

and rest upon His Word--

For ev'rything, O ev'rything,

Yes, ev'rything is possible with God!

(2) The word of the Lord is an anchor secure,

When winds of uncertainty blow:

Though man in his weakness may falter and fail,

His Word will not fail us we know.

(3)___ All things are possible, this is His Word,

Receive it ‘tis written for you,

Believe in His promises, God cannot fail,

For what He has said He will do.
