When we believe we’re not enough
Or that our deeds may not be seen,
It’s in the background we make progress
As we work behind the scenes.
When our left hand does not know
What our right hand it will do,
It’s in these dear precious moments
That God our heart He will renew.
Because it’s the prayers when on our knees
As we intercede to pray,
That touch the heart of God
When our tears have much to say.
It’s the teamwork as we’re humble
And want to serve instead of lead;
It’s the motives of our heart
When we conduct all of our deeds.
It’s the significance of a soul
That won’t embrace the credit too,
Knowing that the Lord gets all the glory
With all we say and what we do.
It’s the ‘insignificance’ that is honoured
By God and all His hosts;
It’s the rewards laid up in heaven
When in Jesus we shall boast.
There’s significance in our insignificance
When with the right heart, mind and soul,
We serve with love and kindness
And see the benefits unfold.
When Christ hung on the cross
It may have looked insignificant indeed,
But it was through a heart of love
That God Almighty intervened.
