Lyrics

illustration

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.
