little things

im here to do little things

with little ol’ me i can take my little 

n not let it make me bitter

n not look to see what my friend has

but rather be caught up in the little i have

i’m here to do little things

big things are for stages

n im not wanting to be seen

i’m here to do little things

because little did i know the little things are actually ones that compound into big things that make up our lives

i’ll compliment a stranger

i’ll see the miraculous in my office

i’ll choose to stare at a leaf for a while 

i’ll choose to look up at the sky and admire the clouds passing by

i’ll choose to stand in line at the grocery store, content in my heart for the little corner i occupy

don’t need them flashy things

i just need my fathers eyes on me

i’ve loved n im seen in all the little things

the details of my life are His great delight

im startin’ to see the little things that make up my sweet life

im startin’ to take ownership of the little that i have

workin’ what I got even when my feelings try to tell me “you won’t amount too much” 

you may be right

but no you’re not 

last time I checked the one I follow defeated that mindset on the cross

n even when i’m tossed by a different narrative i gotta deep knowing that he’s the boss over all
so ima keep it kickin and show up with the fire of God in my lungs

nothin to prove

nothin to do 

except for the little things i’m called too

holdin them in the palm of my hands

workin’ n figuring out this life dance

underdogs are the winning sauce

for how God chooses to redeem, use, n ultimately reach the lost

the down n out

won’t be put down for too long

i humble myself

and i take pride in the little things, in my little life

because i know all of it is significant, every decision is special in God’s eyes

every move I make i’m submittin’ to my king

with God as my main thing, 

no need to spend my time worrying

striving for more to fill up my calendar

no need to get to my next when right here, right now, im at rest

restin n resetting

like the fresh drops of rain on the street 

like the rain on my window pane

all these little drops of love are comin’ down on me

make my heart present to the little things, Your love all around me

may I rejoice at the little in my hand

work what I have while you work on my behalf

because I know my God directs my steps and He’s the one who will always have my back

“The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Though they stumble, they will never fall for the Lord holds them by the hand.” Psalms  37:23-24

”Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin, to see the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand.” Zechariah 4:10
