Huff is originally from New Orleans, Louisiana; he is currently a student at the University of Oklahoma. Huff auditioned for the third season of American Idol in Houston, Texas; he was a member of the fourth group of semifinalists. He was actually not among those originally chosen for the semifinal round, but was put through when contestant Donnie Williams was disqualified for a drunk driving arrest.
Huff was not voted through to the final round from his group of semifinalists, but got another second chance when he was brought back for the wildcard round and put through as a finalist by contest judge Simon Cowell. During this period, New Orleans Fox Affiliate WVUE would hold specials including Huff's family cheering George on during the latest episodes.
On May 5, 2004, Huff was voted off in fifth place after two renditions of Fred Astaire's "Cheek to Cheek" and Louis Armstrong's "What a Wonderful World" during big band week.
His album, Miracles, was released by Word Records, on October 11, 2005. The first single off that album was Brighter Day. It sold a mere 18,000 copies.
In 2005 his Louisiana home was affected by Hurricane Katrina. He left New Orleans and stayed at his brother's house in Dallas. 1
See What God Can Do
George Huff Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wondering what's gonna be next for me
Your spirit calls but I've got my dreams and the world out there
Seems like a mastery
And when I fear what lies ahead that's when
A voice inside me says
When you give yourself completely
Change you point of view
You will never be the same
See what God can do
It's the miracles in the everyday
In the kind word you take time to say
It's an open hand
To a broken heart
It's hanging on
When you don't know where to start
In every situation I'm going through
I'm going to keep my eyes open to
See what God can do
When you give yourself completely
Change you point of view
You will never be the same
See what God can do
It will give your life new meaning
If you want to see him move
Get on your knees and pray
See what God can do
When it feels impossible
For you to make it through
When all hope is gone And there's nothing you can do
Don't give up now
Your just about to see what God can do
See what God can do
When you give yourself completely
Change you point of view
You will never be the same
See what God can do
It will give your life new meaning
If you want to see him move
Get on your knees and pray
See what God can do
The lyrics to George Huff's "See What God Can Do" reflect the challenges of navigating between personal ambition and spiritual fulfillment. Late at night, the singer is struggling to find meaning in their life, with various options seeming equally compelling or empty. Despite their uncertainty, they feel a spiritual calling that they can't ignore. The singer's fear of the unknown and the possibility of failure are overcome by a gentle internal voice that tells them to trust in the power of God. The song encourages the listener to trust in the power of prayer and God's grace to find a meaningful direction in life.
The chorus emphasizes the transformative power of surrendering oneself to God's plan. It suggests that by changing one's perspective to focus on the miracles in everyday life, one can find a new purpose and meaning. The song maintains a hopeful tone throughout and asserts that even if one feels lost or hopeless, connecting with God can lead to transformation and a new life path.
