About This Song

Little Seed Faith is the gentle heart of the collection. It takes Jesus' mustard-seed promise and plants it where a child can reach it: "Tiny seed, big tree — faith in God can grow in me." The verses meet children exactly where their worries live — feeling small, being afraid, stumbling and falling — and answer each one with the same truth: God is strong, God is near, God still hears me when I call.

The chorus makes the maths of faith wonderfully simple: "Little seed faith, big, big God." The size of the faith is not the point; the size of the God is. The action bridge even lets the kids act it out — hold a tiny seed, plant it down, wiggle the roots, raise the branches — and then push the mountain, because "God is bigger, this I know."

Devotional

"If you have faith as small as a mustard seed… nothing will be impossible for you" (Matthew 17:20).

Notice that Jesus never told His disciples to get bigger faith. He told them that the smallest real faith — mustard-seed sized — is enough, because faith's power is not in the faith but in the One it holds onto. "Little seed faith, big, big God."

That is why this song can honestly sing to a worried child: when you feel small, God is strong; when you fall, He still hears you when you call. Faith grows the way seeds grow — slowly, quietly, "by God's Word and by His grace" — roots going deep before anyone sees the leaves. The mustard seed's job is not to be impressive. Its job is to be planted.

Lyrics

[Intro]
Tiny seed
Big tree
Faith in God
Can grow in me
Little prayer
Big grace
Jesus puts a smile
On my face

[Verse 1]
I may feel small
But God is strong
He is with me
All day long
I can pray
I can trust
God is good
And God is just
Like a seed
Down below
Faith in God
Begins to grow
Roots go deep
Leaves go high
God is with me
By my side

[Chorus]
Little seed faith
Big, big God
I can trust Him
On the road
Little seed faith
Grow, grow, grow
God is stronger
This I know
Hands up high
Fear down low
In God’s love
I’m safe to grow
Little seed faith
Big, big God
I can trust Him
On the road

[Verse 2]
When I worry
When I fear
I remember
God is near
When I stumble
When I fall
God still hears me
When I call
Faith can grow
In every place
By God’s Word
And by His grace
Tiny seed
Strong and true
Jesus helps me
Follow through

[Action Bridge]
Hold a seed
Very small
Plant it down
Watch it tall
Wiggle roots
Raise your hands
God gives strength
So faith can stand
Push that mountain
Fear must go
God is bigger
This I know

[Final Chorus]
Little seed faith
Big, big God
I can trust Him
On the road
Little seed faith
Grow, grow, grow
God is stronger
This I know
Hands up high
Fear down low
In God’s love
I’m safe to grow
Little seed faith
Big, big God
I can trust Him
On the road
