Representative Text

1 You may not be called to service,
In the great lands afar,
But you can do much for Jesus,
Just in the place you are.

Refrain:
Doing the little things day by day,
Serving the Master along the way;
Not o’er the ocean in countries afar,
But doing the little things, where you are.

2 Search for the ones who are weary,
Those who are faint with fear,
There may be many about you,
Bring them a word of cheer. [Refrain]

3 Out in life’s highways and byways,
Seek out the blind, the lame,
Tell them of joys that await them,
Offered in Jesus’ name. [Refrain]
