Little is Much
A Children's Christian Musical by Elaine Ernst Schneider
| Overview The idea behind Little is
Much is that God made us and supplies us with all that we need.
The theme song says:
Little is Much
when you're in touch
With the one who
made a man from a piece of clay
Five loaves and
two fishes fed the multitude and then left twelve dishes!
God touched a
leper, gave him brand new skin...
the crippled man,
He made to walk again!
He himself born
in a manger small, one day we know will be Lord of all... etc.
It centers around a worm who is
convinced that he can do nothing - he often says, "I'm just a worm"
(like we say, "I'm just one person" or "I'm just a kid.") Then he
realizes that God used "regular" people all through the Bible and
that when we put our faith in God, He will supply us
with what we need to do the task before us:
What if Noah
never built an ark 'cuz he didn't think it would rain
What if Paul
hadn't served the Lord, he'd have never worn those chains.
What if Moses saw
the burning bush and he turned and ran away.
the Good
Samaritan walked on by and left that man to stay...
(chorus)
Gideon was the
Lord's warrior but he could have refused to fight
Joseph might have
turned his brothers away when hunger was their plight...
The Ethiopian
would have died in sin ... etc.
As you might
guess, the worm realizes he is a butterfly in disguise at the end - in
other words, he sees himself as God sees him:
Looking through
the eyes of God helps me see you as He does
Looking through
the eyes of God helps me love you as He does
He sees a rainbow
when I see the storm
In you, Little
Worm, He sees a butterfly's form.
We are fearfully
and wondrously made...
We're important
to Him, stamped, approved and ok'd!
