I cannot give You deeds of great majesty
Nor can I offer many works of mercy
All those before me have accomplished so much in holiness
I desire sainthood, but I feel so helpless
What can I give to You? …I’ll give you
Chorus:
Little things with great love
Little things with great love
My little soul can’t do any more
Than little things with great love
A Sister insulted my by her ignorance
Another doesn’t notice the pain I’m feeling
I made another mistake when trying to do so well
I could easily become discouraged
Instead I’ll offer to you …these
Chorus:
Little things with great love
Little things with great love
I have nothing to show, for all I have comes from You anyway
I’ll give You little things with great love
Here I lie, upon my deathbed
Hours of agony, will this test ever end?
I’m tempted to think that You aren’t with me anymore
But with my last strength I sit up and cry:
“My God, I love You!”
Chorus:
Little things with great love
Little things with great love
I hope the world can understand
Little things with great love
