What We Give to the Least

V6

[Verse 1] When the hungry wait beside the road, And a tired heart carries its load, I can choose to pass, or turn and stay, Offer bread and kindness for the day. [Verse 1] When a brother stands with hope to share, Will I meet him with an open prayer? Every word and deed is seen above, Mercy writes the measure out in love. [Pre-Chorus] You see the quiet things we do, The hidden thoughts that lead us through. [Chorus] What we give to the least, we give to You, Every faithful act, every kindness true. When we stand with Your brothers and help them proclaim, We are honoring Your holy name. Sheep or goats, the choice is shown By the love we make our own. What we give to the least, we give to You, Let our hands and hearts be true. [Verse 2] There are weary feet that need a friend, There are doors of hope we can help mend. Not for praise, and not for earthly gain, But to serve the King through joy and pain. [Verse 2] When the call goes out across the land, I will lend my voice, my time, my hand. For the work Your servants carry on, I will help the message travel strong. [Pre-Chorus] You weigh the motive, word, and deed, You know the truth behind our need. [Chorus] What we give to the least, we give to You, Every faithful act, every kindness true. When we stand with Your brothers and help them proclaim, We are honoring Your holy name. Sheep or goats, the choice is shown By the love we make our own. What we give to the least, we give to You, Let our hands and hearts be true. [Instrumental Interlude] [Bridge] Teach me to notice, teach me to care, To find sacred service waiting there. [Bridge] Make me courageous, steady and kind, With willing hands and a humble mind. [Final Chorus] What we give to the least, we give to You, Every faithful act, every kindness true. When we stand with Your brothers and help them proclaim, We are honoring Your holy name. May our words and thoughts be clean, May our lives show what we mean. What we give to the least, we give to You, Let our hands and hearts be true. [Outro] For the love we show today, May it guide our every way.
