Just a little kindness
Sown along the weary road;
Just a little lifting
Of another’s heavy load;
Just a little pity
That is tenderly bestowed,
May win a soul for Jesus.
Refrain
In the name of Him who died for you,
To your vow of service are you true?
Never, then, neglect it,
For when you least expect it,
You may win a soul for Jesus.
Just a little sacrifice
Of ease that we have earned;
Just a little sharing
Of a lesson we have learned;
Just a little stirring
Of the flame that low has burned,
May win a soul for Jesus.
Refrain
Just a little pleading
In the name of Him who died;
Just a little earnestness,
Like His, who is your guide;
Just a little longing
For someone lost at your side,
May win a soul for Jesus.
