Years ago, I had a vision in which, God told me to build His church. I had no resources or even a congregation. The task seemed impossible, so I asked God for a sign. A friend, “Sister Jean Harris” called me and said, “Paul, God wants you to pastor.” She then made me pastor of the prayer group she was leading, and my first church, "Christ Tabernacle '' was born. I was later sent to help another church, “Prince of Peace.” They had a small membership, and an elderly Pastor named Rev Harris (no relation to Sis Jean Harris). They had a building that sat unfinished for over twenty years because they did not have the resources to complete it. Reverend Harris passed away in 2023 and Prince of Peace made me their new Pastor. Now I had two congregations and the responsibility of building them a church home. I also faced a whole new set of challenges. One was the two million dollars needed to complete the building project. I told God again, “This seems like an impossible task.” I went to sleep and dreamt of a song in which God was telling me, “Paul, YOU PERFORM THE POSSIBLE and leave the impossible to me, God.” I produced the song, and we are using it to raise the needed funds. We may not have great resources, but we do have a great God and great faith. No one should give up on their dreams. Just trust God to do the impossible. And when the house of the Lord is done, our two churches will praise our God as one.
Verse 1
It started out as a vision from God, that no one else could see.
Build me a house that I might dwell, and answer prayers made unto me.
But doubters said that's impossible because that's beyond our ability.
All we had was a widow's mite and faith that moves mountains to seas.
Verse 2
Rejected by men who assessed what we had and not what the Lord said would be.
But an act of faith activates His divine decree.
Though man denies don't let the vision die, or slowly fade away,
Just look to the hills from whence comes your help and He who commands the day.
Verse 3
The impossible is what you ask of God, the possible is what He asks of you.
Don't give up hope on your dream my child He'll breathe on what you do.
Peter walked on water and God upheld.
Joshua shouted and Jericho fell.
The widow poured; God caused the oil to flow.
The lepers were healed, but first, they had to go.
Chorus
You perform the possible and leave the impossible to the Son.
And when the house of the Lord is built, we will praise our God as one.
We shall praise our God as one
