One blade of grass on the rolling hills
One grain of sand on the shore
One drop of the infinite ocean
Only one-nothing more.

One shining star in the midnight sky
One seed in fields of thousands
Just one soul among the myriads
Lost in the deafening sounds.

How can just one change the landscape?
What would one life have to do
To mold the countless lives around her,
Make them beautiful and new?

If one blade of grass was greener
Stronger, taller than the rest
Would not the others seek to reach her
Try to grow their very best?

If one grain of sand sought an oyster
That she might become a pearl
The others would seek her beauty
Try to be just like her.

If one drop within the ocean
Absorbed all the salt it could
Would not the other drops decide
As well, that they all should?

If one shining star shone brighter
Than all other stars combined
Those other stars would try to be
The brightest star that shined.

If one seed grew roots much faster
Than the many seeds around
Would not those seeds drink in the sunlight
Pushing deeper underground?

But, this is the real question,
What if one soul took a stand
Refused to buckle under
Temptation’s mighty hand?

What if she lived her daily life
With Christ’s love in her soul
And tried to show to others
How He has made her whole?

If one soul became the vessel
God intended her to be
Jesus’ love would overflow her
And flow out to you and me.
