How many of us have truly
dwelt on these verses:
Quote:
"Are not two sparrows sold for a
farthing? and one of them shall not fall
on the ground without your Father. But
the very hairs of your head are all
numbered. Fear ye not therefore, ye are
of more value than many sparrows."
(Mat 10:29-31)
When troubles and sickness come our way,
we usually turn to worry and fretting
about our situation. Civilla Martin
(1869-1948) the author of today's hymn
had a friend who had learned to rely on
this verse and when in 1904, sickness
made her bed ridden she continued to
trust in God. Seeing the testimony of
her friend cause Civilla Martin to pen
the words to our hymn, "His Eye is On
The Sparrow."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
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.
"Let not your heart be troubled," His
tender word I hear,
And resting on His goodness, I lose my
doubts and fears;
Tho' 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.
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;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He
cares for me;
His eye is on the sparrow, and I know He
cares for me.
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
