He Cares For You
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
I Peter 5:7
"Look at the birds of the
air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your
heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?"
Matt. 6:26
"6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God.
7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." Luke 12:6-7
His Eye Is On the Sparrow
Why should I feel discouraged
Why should the shadows come
Why should my heart feel lonely
And long for heaven and home
When Jesus is my portion
A constant friend is He
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches over me
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches
I know He watches
I know He watches me
I sing because I'm happy
I sing because I'm free
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
His eye is on the sparrow
And I know He watches me (He watches me)
He watches me
I know He watches me

Thanks for sharing this. I felt very uplifted, just at a time when I am feeling soooo tired, it lifted me up.

Mine's up!
This song brings back a wonderful memory. I did prison ministry for 5 years. One day a young woman who was an inmate, who had turned her life over to God... came in and wanted to sing me a song. She sang this song in the most beautiful clear voice I have ever heard with tears rolling down her cheeks. I was moved and I always hear this song in my head in her voice.
Happy Friday.
love,
Annie

I'm sorry I had to do the mr. linkey twice. The first one kept taking you to an old post from Dec. 5. It has done this before and I'm not sure why it does.
Thank you,
Ruth
