When God sees the flowers
Need His tender care,
He sends little raindrops
With a blessing there.
Refrain
Busy little raindrops
Let us be today,
As we strive to scatter blessings,
All along the way;
Helpful little raindrops
Will we be today,
Doing work for Jesus
In a raindrop’s way.
We are little raindrops,
God has sent us here,
From His fount of blessing,
Bringing hope and cheer.
Refrain
Every drop reflecting
God’s most tender love
Helps to light the pathway
To the home above.
Refrain
Tho’ we are but raindrops,
We are glad to know,
That we have a mission,
In this world below.
