The Things I Do

More Songs for Children, 18


1. I am much too young to go abroad To teach and preach the word of God, But I can show I know it’s true, Quite simply by the things I do.

2. The stranger in my neighborhood Will judge the gospel bad or good By how I act at work and play, And not just on the Sabbath day.

3. I’ll take my friend to church with me Where I will act with dignity. My rev’rence and my happy face Will tell him it’s a sacred place.

4. In ev’rything I do he’ll see I am what I profess to be. Then when the elders find his door, He’ll say, “Come in and tell me more.”
