For the past couple of days, this song has been on my heart, and I have found myself singing it at the top of my voice several times....... it is based on Matt. 10: 29-31 "His Eye Is On The Sparrow" by Civilla D. Martin, 1905
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 (repeat)
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
"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 (repeat)
Oh Jen!!, what a fitting post for me and Karissa. I'm just now reading this but on this day (17th) is when Mawmaw Audry passed. Thank you for taking the time to post this! We have yet more sad days ahead (as you may know from reading my last post).
ReplyDeleteHis eye is indeed forever upon us. Thanks for the reminder!
Oh M! I am so glad this song encouraged you... God is so good, and your comment makes me think of Prov. 25:11 "A word fitly spoken is like apples of gold in pictures of silver."
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by and encouraging me!
Hugs,
Jenni
