Song Meaning
Steven Curtis Chapman spends his verses on the least glamorous tasks he can find — matching socks, sweeping up cheerios, "hooking up mergers" or "cooking up burgers" — refusing to rank any of them above the others. "While I may not know you, I bet I know you" is Chapman guessing at a stranger's ordinary day well enough to insist it still matters.
"Do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you" quotes 1 Corinthians 10:31 almost directly, applying "whatever you do" to folded laundry and boardroom deals with the same weight. "Little stuff, big stuff, in between stuff, God sees it all the same" pushes Colossians 3:23's instruction to work as for the Lord past big career decisions and into the parts of a day nobody would think to mention out loud.
Lyrics Verified by Editorial Team
Your picking up toys on the living room floor for the fifteenth time today
Matching up socks
Sweeping up lost cheerios that got away
You put a baby on your hip
Color on your lips and head out the door
While I may not know you
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
[Pre-Chorus]
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
[Chorus]
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
Cause he made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do
[Verse 2]
Maybe your that guy with the suit and tie
Maybe your shirt says your name
You may be hooking up mergers
Cooking up burgers
But at the end of the day
Little stuff
Big stuff
In between stuff
God sees it all the same
[Pre-Chorus]
While I may not know you
I bet I know you
Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long
[Chorus]
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
Cause he made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
Tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every thing that you do
[Verse 3]
Maybe your sitting in math class
Or maybe on a mission in the Congo
Or maybe your working at the office
Singing along with the radio
Maybe you're dining at a five-star
Or feeding orphans in the Myanmar
Anywhere and everywhere that you are
[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever you do
It all matters
So do what you do
Don't ever forget
[Chorus]
To do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
Cause He made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace
[Chorus]
As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
Cause he made you
To do
Every little thing that you do
To bring a smile to His face
And tell the story of grace
With every move that you make
And every little thing you do
[Outro]
In every little thing you do
In every little thing you do
