Amy Grant's song 'Put a Little Love in Your Heart' is a gentle call to kindness and compassion. The lyrics encourage listeners to help others, avoid hatred, and let love guide their actions. It suggests that small acts of love can make the world a better place for everyone. While the song promotes positive values, it does not explicitly reference Christian theology, Jesus, or Scripture. It is more of a general humanistic message about love and kindness rather than a worship or faith-based song.

Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team

Think of your fellow man

Lend him a helping hand

Put a little love in your heart

 

You see it's getting late

Oh, please don't hesitate

Put a little love in your heart

 

And the world (and the world)

Will be a better place

And the world (and the world)

Will be a better place

For you (for you)

And me (and me)

Just wait (just wait)

And see

 

Another day goes by

And still the children cry

Put a little love in your heart

 

If you want the world to know

We won't let hatred grow

Put a little love in your heart

 

And the world (and the world)

Will be a better place

And the world (and the world)

Will be a better place

For you (for you)

And me (and me)

Just wait (just wait)

And see

Wait and see

 

Take a good look around

And if you're looking down

Put a little love in your heart

 

I hope when you decide

Kindness will be your guide

Put a little love in your heart

Put a little love in your heart

You've got to

Put a little love in your heart
