A Little Place (poem)

Where shall I work today, dear Lord?
And my love flowed warm and free.
He answered and said,
"See that little place?
Tend that little place for me."

I answered and I said,
"Oh no, not there.
No one would ever see
No matter how well my work was done,
Not that little place for me!"

His voice when He spoke,
Was soft and kind,
He answered me tenderly,
"Little one, search that heart of thine,
Are you working for them or Me?"

"Nazareth was a little place,
And so was Galilee."
