Mahalia Jackson - It Don't Cost Very Much lyrics
To Smile when you're happy, to smile when you're sad 
To look pleasing when mistreated 
To be calm when you're mad 
Oh, be forgiving if someone abuse you 
For the good Lord looks for such 
Live right each day and smile on your way 
And it don't cost very much 
No it don't cost very much well to place a gentle touch 
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such 
Well you may not be an angel and you may not go to church 
But the good that you do will come on back to you 
And it don't cost very much 
Help the cripple man by the wayside Mahalia Jackson - It Don't Cost Very Much - http://motolyrics.com/mahalia-jackson/it-dont-cost-very-much-lyrics.html
Help the blind man across the street 
Be careful but kind to strangers 
Speak politely to those you meet 
To the blind man give him glasses 
To the cripple man, give him a crutch 
What you do for yourself 
You could do for somebody else 
It don't cost very much 
No it don't cost very much just to place a gentle touch 
To give a glass of water to a pilgrim in need of such 
Oh you may not be an angel and you may not go to church 
But the good that you do will come on back to you 
It don't cost very much
