Sparrows

"His Eye is on the Sparrow"

Verse 1:

Why should I feel discouraged,

Why should the shadows come,

Why should my heart be lonely

And long for Heav'n and home,

When Jesus is my portion?

My constant Friend is He:

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

Refrain:

I sing because I'm happy,

I sing because I'm free,

For His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

Verse 2:

"Let not your heart be troubled,"

His tender word I hear,

And resting on His goodness,

I lose my doubts and fears;

Though by the path He leadeth

But one step I may see:

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me;

His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

Verse 3:

Whenever I am tempted,
Whenever clouds arise,
When songs give place to sighing,

When hope within me dies,

I draw the closer to Him,

From care He sets me free:

I sing because I'm happy,
 I sing because I'm free 
His eye is on the sparrow,

And I know He watches me.

I enjoyed putting this post together and finding the sweet little pictures.  I love this song, His Eye is on The Sparrow.  I remember the first time I heard it as a young mother; I was at a Women's Seminar and we had an excellent speaker.  I remember thinking how loving God is....He cares so much for the sparrows.  One of the smallest, and used to be one of the least favorite birds because of the damage they can do.  But God cares for them.....and if He cares so much for them...you KNOW He cares for you!!!  What an encouraging song!  Puts a song in your heart!  :D

Have a wonderful Sunday!

Please join the other folks over at Spiritual Sunday and be truly blessed!
