Small Things

Verse 1

The headlines scream like the sky’s caving in,

Every day feels heavier than the last one did.

Big promises crumble, loud voices collide,

Everyone’s chasing a bigger reason to hide.

But I’ve seen a smile stop a runaway tear,

Heard one kind word calm a thousand fears.

Pre-Chorus

Maybe the answer isn’t grand or loud,

Maybe it’s closer than we think right now.

Chorus

There’s power in the small things we do,

In showing up, in telling the truth.

In open hands and a heart that stays,

When walking away would be easier, safer.

When the world feels like it’s torn apart,

Love is still the strongest part.

Yeah, love is all that really matters now—

In a world that’s falling down.

Verse 2

I’ve watched the quiet ones carry the load,

Never asking credit, just walking the road.

They light a candle, they share their bread,

They choose compassion when hope feels thin.

No spotlight moments, no perfect plan,

Just faithful steps where they stand.

Pre-Chorus

You don’t change the world in a single day,

You change it in the choices you make.

Chorus

There’s power in the small things we give,

In choosing grace, in how we live.

In listening close, in staying when it’s hard,

In loving people right where they are.

When the ground shakes and the night feels long,

Love is still what keeps us strong.

Yeah, love is all that really matters now—

In a world that’s falling down.

Bridge (build)

If all I have is a little light,

I’ll hold it high against the night.

If all I know is love is true,

Then I’ll start right here, with you.

Breakdown (half-sung / spoken)

Small doesn’t mean weak…

It means real.

Final Chorus (Lift)

There’s power in the small things we choose,

Everyday courage, everyday truth.

In mercy shown and burdens shared,

In saying “I see you,” “I’m here,” “I care.”

When the world breaks loud and fast,

Love is what’s built to last.

Yeah, love is all that really matters now—

And it’s enough… it’s enough.

Outro (quiet, resolved)

I’ll keep choosing love—

One small thing at a time.
