1. Just to do the little things
Day by day,
With the hopeful heart that sings
All the way;
Just to ease a little bit,
Some one’s load,
Casting rays, all heaven lit,
On life’s road.
Chorus:
Just to follow Jesus
Closer ev’ry day,
Rev’rently to listen,
Promptly to obey;
Just to let His Spirit
Enter, cleanse and fill;
Just to follow Jesus,
Just to do His will.
2. Just to speak in gentle tone,
Words of cheer,
Knowing we are not alone,
Christ is near;
Just to bear the ills of life,
By His grace,
Seeing ever thro’ the strife
His dear face.
3. Just to trust His gracious care,
More and more;
Learn the blessed pow’r of pray’r,
O’er and o’er;
Serving, as each moment flies,
Where He leads,
Praising Him, who satisfies
All our needs.
