It only takes a little gas to get you to the
station
Where you can fill your tank and reach your
destination.
It only takes a little map with cities,
streets and states
To show the way to go to find the one who
waits.
It only takes a little food to ease a man’s
starvation.
A little desert shade can be a man’s
preservation.
A little water to the thirsty will heal lips
that are parched.
A little rest for the weary will give them a
fresh new start.
A little smile will turn an ugly scowl
upside down.
It will show your dimples and chase away a
frown.
A smile makes the corners of your mouth to
raise
Like miniature hands to give God a praise.
A little word spoken fitly on the branches
of a smile
Is like a golden apple to savor for a while.
“I’m sorry, please forgive me” set in a
frame of silver
Can mend a broken friendship and can peace
deliver.
A little faith casts a mountain into the
depths of the sea.
It can even uproot and transplant a tree!
A little mustard seed of faith is really all
it takes
To overcome the doubt and the fear in its
wake
Just a little bit of love goes a long, long
way
Just a few little words may make someone’s
day.
A little word of encouragement would be a
special treat
To get them through the day still standing
on their feet.
It only takes a little sin to stain the
righteous soul.
A little excuse without repentance can leave
you in a hole.
It only takes a little slide when you’re
climbing up the hill
To start going down again and your joy-cup
contents spill.
It only takes a little blood from
Emanuel’s bleeding hands
To cleanse and lift you up and let you
start again.
Yes, it only takes a little; it goes a
very long way—
All the way from Calvary to that glorious
Eternal Day!
