Remember that little can of soup
a small part of your grocery list?
You could have just thrown it away
and it would never have been missed.
Then the church announced a food drive
for a food pantry down the street
and you took that little can of soup
to share for someone else to eat.
It was only one small can of soup
in that great big stack of food.
It seemed so insignificant
but you hoped it would do good.
I went to that food pantry, friend,
because my shelves were bare
and I picked up that can of soup
so proudly sitting there.
When all my food had been used up
and my hunger pangs grew strong
I ate that little can of soup
and sang a little thankful song..
That little can of soup you gave
might not have been much for you
but it was a big help to me
it helped to get me through.
