The Things I Do

Lyrics

1. 1. I’m 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. 2. The people 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. 3. I’ll take my friends to church with me,

   Where I will act with dignity.

   My rev’rence and my happy face

   Will tell them it’s a sacred place.

4. 4. In ev’rything I do they’ll see

   I am what I profess to be.

   Then when the elders find their door,

   they’ll say, “Come in and tell us more.”
