  • You're picking up toys on the living room floor for the fifteenth time today
    Matching up socks, sweeping up lost Cheerios that got away
    You put a baby on your hip, color on your lips and head out the door

    While I may not know you, I bet I know you
    Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
    Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long

    As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
    'Cause He made you to do
    Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face
    Tell the story of grace with every move that you make
    And every little thing you do

    Maybe you're that guy with the suit and tie
    Maybe your shirt says your name
    You may be hooking up mergers, cooking up burgers
    But at the end of the day
    Little stuff, big stuff, in between stuff
    God sees it all the same

    While I may not know you, I bet I know you
    Wonder sometimes, does it matter at all?
    Well let me remind you, it all matters just as long

    As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
    'Cause He made you to do
    Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face
    Tell the story of grace with every move that you make
    And everything you do

    Maybe you're sitting in math class
    Or maybe on a mission in the Congo
    Or maybe you're working at the office
    Singing along with the radio
    Maybe you're dining at a five-star
    Or feeding orphans in Myanmar
    Anywhere and everywhere that you are
    Whatever you do, it all matters
    So do what you do, don't ever forget

    To do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
    'Cause He made you to do
    Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face
    And tell the story of grace

    As you do everything you do to the glory of the One who made you
    'Cause He made you to do
    Every little thing that you do to bring a smile to His face
    And tell the story of grace with every move that you make
    And every little thing you do

    In every little thing you do
    In every little thing you do Writer/s: Steven Curtis Chapman
