JJ Heller's song "Little Things" encourages listeners to recognize the value of small acts of kindness and service. The lyrics express a common feeling of being overwhelmed by the world's problems, but then shift to a perspective that even simple gestures, like giving a cup of water or praying for someone in need, can make a meaningful difference. The song emphasizes that we are all children of God and that what we have, however little, can be offered to help others. It's a gentle reminder that love is often shown through small, practical actions.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
There are not enough minutes in the day
I am crippled by the thought of wasting time
I don't have enough money to heal the poor
So I don't want to try
But it's the little things that make a difference
It's the little things that show love
It's the little things
A simple cup of water that can change the world
That can save our sons and daughters
I'll be praying for the widow all alone
Sewing clothes for a loaf of bread
It is not my fault that she is hungry
It's my joy to make sure she's fed
[CHORUS]
We are all related, children of the King
We may not have much, but what we have we bring
