Little Things With Great Love
Audrey Assad's song "Little Things With Great Love" is a gentle, reflective piece about serving others with humility and love. It draws on imagery of God's care for every small act of kindness, comparing His attention to a gardener tending seeds. The lyrics emphasize that no suffering goes unnoticed and that every tear is sacred. The chorus encourages believers to perform small deeds with great love, echoing the idea that God makes these acts glorious. The song also calls listeners to be God's hands and feet, caring for those in need. It is a quiet, encouraging anthem about faithful service and compassion.
In the garden of our Savior no flower grows unseen
His kindness rains like water on every humble seed
No simple act of mercy escapes His watchful eye
For there is One who sees me
His hand is over mine
In the kingdom of the heavens no suffering is unknown
Each tear that falls is holy, each breaking heart a throne
There is a song of beauty in every weeping eye
For there is One who knows me
His heart, it breaks with mine
O the deeds forgotten, O the works unseen
Every drink of water flowing graciously
Every tender mercy You�??re making glorious
This You have asked of us:
Do little things with great love
Little things with great love
At the table of our Savior, no mouth will go unfed
And His children in the shadows stream in and raise their heads
O give us ears to hear them, and give us eyes that see
For there is One who loves them. I am His hands and feet
