When a Sparrow Falls

I don’t know how many millions or billions Of sparrows there are, but the Father does How can he know when each sparrow falls? He knows every detail because He is infinite and omniscient He counts every hair on your head He cares for the lilies and cares for the birds He makes certain that each one is fed What do I say to my little girl On the day that her grandfather dies? In that silence when we both know he’s not coming back I hold her and sing as she cries… He is infinite in his love for you To prove it he left heaven’s throne He died on the cross and he rose from the dead He’s preparing a place for his own So why should I worry about my life, Or what I should eat, drink, or wear Why should I fear what the future may hold? Just consider the birds of the air He is infinite and omnipotent He knows every path that you tread He cares for the lilies and cares for the birds And makes certain that each one is fed When you grieve for a loss or your life’s at a crossroads, You don’t know which path is God’s way, Remember his Word says his will for you Is rejoice and give thanks and to pray He is infinite in his love for you To prove it he left heaven’s throne He cares for the lilies and cares for the birds How much more does He care for His own?* *Matthew 6:26 "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?" written 4 Jul 2003
