The Things I Do
The Things I Do
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.”
