Listen from:
PE 5:7{It is so pleasant to be cared for; to have some kind relatives and friends who show that they love you by their care for you. But all earthly care for you comes because "He careth for you." He planned and arranged everything, without your having anything to do with it, so that you shall be cared for. And He did not arrange it once for all, and then leave things to go on as might happen. No! Every day, every moment, He careth, goes on caring, for you. Not only thinking of you and watching you, but working for you; making things come right, so that everything should be just the best that could happen to you. Not managing the great things, and leaving the little things to arrange themselves; but giving loving care to the least, the very least that concerns you. Even in small troubles which no one else seems to care about, "He careth"; or when every one else is too much taken up with other things to attend to you, "He careth for you." You can never get beyond God's care, for it always reaches you; you can never be outside of it, for it is always enfolding you.
Who will take care of me? darling, you say!
Lovingly, tenderly watched as you are!
Listen! I give you the answer today,
One who is never forgetful or far.
He will take care of you! all through the year,
Crowning each day with His kindness and love,
Sending you blessing and shielding from fear,
Leading you on to the bright home above.
