Matthew 10:29-31
I’m only a little sparrow,
A bird of low degree …
My life is of little value,
But the dear Lord cares for me.
He gives me a coat of feathers;
It is very plain, I know,
Without a speck of crimson
For it was not made for show.
But it keeps me warm in winter,
And it shields me from the rain;
Were it bordered with gold and purple,
Perhaps it would make me vain.
And now that the springtime cometh,
I will build me a little nest,
With many a chirp of pleasure,
In the spot I like the best.
I have no barn or storehouse …
I neither sow nor reap;
God gives me a sparrow’s portion
And never a seed to keep.
If my meal is sometimes scanty,
Close picking makes it sweet;
I have always enough to feed me,
And life is more than meat.
I know there are many sparrows …
All over the world they are found;
But our heavenly Father knoweth
When one falleth to the ground.
Though small, we are not forgotten;
Though weak, we are not afraid,
For we know that the dear Lord keepeth
The life of the creatures He made.
I fly through the thickest forest,
I light on many a spray;
I have no chart or compass,
But I never lose my way.
I just fold my wings at nightfall
Wherever I happen to be,
For the Father is always watching …
No harm can happen to me.
I am only a little sparrow,
A bird of low degree,
But I know that the Father loves me …
Dost thou know His love for thee?
