IT ONLY TAKES A LITTLE
It only takes a little gas to get you to the station
Where you can fill your tank and reach your destination.
It only takes a little map with cities, streets and states
To show you which way to go to find the one who waits.

It only takes a little food to ease a man's starvation.
A little shade in the desert can be a man's preservation.
A little water to the thirsty will heal lips that are parched.
A little rest for the weary will give them a fresh new start.

A little smile will turn an ugly scowl upside down.
It will show your dimples and chase away a frown,.
A smile makes the corners of your mouth to raise
Like miniature hands to give God a praise.

A little word spoken filty on the branches of a smile
Is like a golden apple to savor for a while.
"I'm sorry, please forgive me" set in a frame of silver
Can mend a broken friendship and can peace deliver.

A little faith casts a mountain into the depths of the sea.
It can even uproot and transplant a tree!
A little mustard seed of faith is really all it takes
To overcome the doubt and the fear in its wake.

Just a little bit of love goes a long, long way.
Just a few little words may make someone's day.
A little word of encouragement would be a special treat
To get them through the day still standing on their feet.
It only takes a little sin to stain the righteous soul.
A little excuse without repentance can leave you in a hole.
It only takes a little slide when you're climbing up the hill
To start going down again and your joy-cup contents spill.
It only takes a little blood from Emanuel's bleeding hands
To cleanse and lift you up and let you start again.
Yes, It only takes a little; it goes a very long way--
All the way from Calvary to that glorious Eternal Day!
