Solo, unison or two-part women's chorus
As we in our turn strive to offer Christian charity and service to others, there are many demands on our time. We are busy people. I remember a day when a busy visiting teacher brought me flowers "for no reason at all." Perhaps she picked them up at the grocery store check stand on a whim, and stopped by on her way home. She did not know how much I needed her kindness that day. It was a small act of service that I have never forgotten, rendered during a time of quiet grief. The memory is a gentle reminder to me, when I am in danger of being caught up "in the thick of thin things," that much may be accomplished though I have but a moment.
I walk the path of life as Jesus walked along the roads of Galilee About me need is great. Shall I not heed the weary ones who beckon me? The world demands my time for many passing things The Savior bids me choose the better part Shall I hasten on to answer common calls, Or shall I pause to ease the aching heart? Chorus: If I have but a moment, shall I let it pass away? Can I think to do His work another time, another day? If I have but a moment, could I lift a load of care? If I have but a moment, are there words of hope to share? If I have but a moment Is a moment not enough to do the gentle work of love? In every troubled hour I feel the comfort of His love unceasingly I seek to bear his part, to live as He, to give as He has given me And all around me there is need unmeasured still The silent grief, the bitter word unsaid Shall I go unknowing on my heedless way, Or shall I seek to dry the tear unshed? (Repeat chorus)
