Do Everything
Much as I don’t like a lot of Christian music, I admit, I have a soft spot for Steven Curtis Chapman. Today, as I was on hold to order something at Berean, they were playing this song. When I looked up the lyrics, it made me smile. I hope it does the same for you, too.
You’re picking up toys on the living room floor for the 15th 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 doorWhile 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
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 doMaybe you’re 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 sameWhile 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
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 you doMaybe you’re sitting in math class
Or maybe on a mission in the Congo
Or maybe you’re working at the office
Singing along with the radioMaybe you’re dining at a 5-star
Or feeding orphans in the…
Anywhere and everywhere that you areWhatever you do
It all matters
So do what you do
Don’t ever forgetTo 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 graceAs 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 doIn every little thing you do
In every little thing you do
